Well, you meant "libX*.so files"; the ".so" files *are* shared
libraries, and he *did* have them.

>To convert them into shared libraries, type "ranlib filename".

	auspex% ranlib /usr/lib/libc.so.1.3
	not an archive: /usr/lib/libc.so.1.3

Try again.  Running "ranlib" on a shared library produces only the above
completely justified complaint from "ranlib"; "ranlib" only does things
to archive, i.e. UNshared, libraries.  It doesn't do anything to shared
libraries, and isn't necessary to "convert" anything to a shared
library.
