Agreed, it's very unhelpful/baffling, because what's not found is not 
the binary itself, but one of the libraries needed to load it. Sadly, 
the calling shell can't tell the difference, because all it gets back is 
a numeric error code from the execve() system call.
Seems  I have to rebuild all my own C projects as they have the same 
'not found' characteristic.

One little anomaly , the zsh right now is via the package manager in 
Debian: "zsh 5.2 (x86_64-debian-linux-gnu)" and I source my usual .zshrc 
and so far everything is where I put it, except that command completion, 
if there is no match, brings up the last command, whereas my setup 
should do nothing (leave the prompt blank).  Where might that change be 
effected from?
