Hi

I believe I have a shell account on the same machine - and since it
doesn't have a compiler on it you presumably got the binary from
elsewhere. I suspect it requires binaries that opera (the machine) is
lacking; you can see what library files are required with something like:

strings ./wget | grep lib

Then make sure all of those libraries are on the system (look in /lib,
/usr/lib, /usr/local/lib). If not, it won't work and you'll get an error
as above.

In particular, watch out for things like the right libc, and the ssl
libraries (it may be easier for you to find a copy of wget compiled
without ssl..)
