Running a binary that's compiled and built on a different platform and
that uses dynamic linking is always an issue. The binary wants an older
version of glibc, the thread library, math library and that
libdcmAccess4C.  Odds are you aren't going to find those.

You could try some fancy symlinking (could be a right pain), but you'd
be better off if you can find a statically-linked version of your
program and use that. A statically-linked program carries all its
needed libraries with it. It's much bigger than a dynamically-linked
version, but it is self-contained and should have a better chance of
running.
