It appears that it got an error just after reading fd 5, which is that lcdus.msb file. I don't know what that is, or what it does; I might have an idea if I did. It appears to be a binary file, so looking at it won't help much probably.

Sorry I can't help more. I'm stumped. You might want to remember script(1) for the future though. Often, it does help.

I seem to recall that you're running in small memory though. How big is your swap? This might still be a true "out of memory" problem. Use the swapon -s command (as root) to make sure you have at least 256MB of swap space.

This is pretty normal. It's just trying different ways to get at libraries, until it finds one that works.
