I did this a while ago - its not the problem. The files default permissions for install are 644; change a dll to 666 and you still get the error. It seems that in order to link runtime to a dll you need the executable bit set. Which is what I do. > > You do realize you have multiple versions of these tools in your current > path right?

I'm truly starting from scratch, taking /bin out of my path and putting links into a bootstrap directory which point to /bin. One might think that this is the problem - except that when you add /bin back at the end of the path, the problem still persists. Hence I'm pretty sure the probs are with source installs.
