David! Thank you! What you said about strace being able to tell that a 
dll was missing enabled me to determine why a program I was trying to 
run exited as soon as it was started without any output at all 
(debugging didn't help).
Then I read this post and simply typed:
$ strace nameofmyprogram
and up pops a dialog box with the name of the missing DLL. Thanks!
