The `little' libraries like libdb, png, jpeg, xpm, etc. should all be
statically linked in the binary kits to avoid these sorts of problems.

Sometimes that cannot be done - for example, Sun's libDtSvc only comes
in a dynamic version, and the sources are not freely available.
That's why there is no CDE support in the binary kits I built.

Using dynamic versions of those libraries is appropriate when you have
complete control over the machines where the binary you build will run.
