Sounds like the wrong libraries then; you probably have
/emul/ibcs2/shlib/libc_s and so on.

yeah, there should be a man page for it.  There's no ldconfig in
ibcs2 (or SCO), so you won't need that.  If you want to run anything
that uses sockets, you need /dev/socksys; just "touch /dev/socksys"
should work.  Other than that I don't know any tricks but I haven't run
any serious SCO programs in a long time.  But remember that "ktrace"
is your friend :-)
