Probem with executing certain programs

Hi, I just moved here from my problem with songbird, but this affects more applications now.

I use Arch64 with latest updates and a JFS root file system.

For the two problematic programs, file can specify the type:

[sebastian@SL500 ~]$ file /usr/bin/nvidia-settings
/usr/bin/nvidia-settings: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, stripped

[sebastian@SL500 ~]$ file /opt/Songbird/songbird-bin
/opt/Songbird/songbird-bin: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped

But when I try to execute the programs with, for example,  /usr/bin/nvidia-settings, bash returns
[sebastian@SL500 ~]$ /usr/bin/nvidia-settings
bash: /usr/bin/nvidia-settings: No such file or directory

I booted a live disk to force a FS repair, but that showed no errors.

Edit: I copied nvidia-settings from /usr/bin to my home directory, which is EXT3, copying is successful:
[sebastian@SL500 ~]$ ls -lh /home/sebastian/nvidia-settings
-rwxr-xr-x 1 sebastian sebastian 1.6M Feb 16 14:55 /home/sebastian/nvidia-settings

But trying toexecute gives the same strange error:
[sebastian@SL500 ~]$ /home/sebastian/nvidia-settings
bash: /home/sebastian/nvidia-settings: No such file or directory

Any advices?

Re: Probem with executing certain programs

That's a weird one. What if you run 'ldd' on nvidia-settings:

$ ldd /usr/bin/nvidia-settings

This /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 is not correct, must still be fragments of my cuda experiments. How can I get rid of this?

Edit: I rebuild ldconf-cache (ldconfig -v), now lib64 doesn't show up anymore within ldconfig -p. But now I can't do ldd  /usr/bin/nvidia-settings anymore:
[sebastian@SL500 ~]$ ldd /usr/bin/nvidia-settings
/usr/bin/ldd: line 118: /usr/bin/nvidia-settings: No such file or directory

This gets really weird.

Another Edit:
This is definitely a lib64-error. I created a symlink /lib64 to /lib. Now nvidia-settings work fine. But this is more a workaround than a solution. How can I get rid of the directory dependency (find out from where this directory is accessed)?
