Do you have these libraries installed?  This looks like an X library: do
you have XFree installed?

If you have installed XFree and these libraries, have you run ldconfig
yet, to configure with all of the libraries you need?  Rebooting (via
shutdown -r or reboot) will also fix this.

If you don't want to install X for these programs, consider using the
ports collection to recompile them without X support.
