Do you know if /usr/local/lib is in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH ?
Have you looked at an strace to see where all it is looking to load the 
libraries from?  (I can't exactly speak for the rpm packages running under
debian I don't have any experience with that particular installation method)
I am, however, aware that there are some .deb packages available somewhere
from Shaleh (one day I'll put them on my ftp server I suppose)
