You need to locate the directory that contains your
libcob.so and add it to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environtment variable.

E.g. if libcob.so is in /usr/local/lib then you would

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib

Or alter your ld.so.conf so that it looks in the
directory by default.

Or, move the libcob.so to somewhere that is in
ld.so.conf already (I'd be surprised if /usr/local/lib
wasn't searched by default, but then, I don't know
debian).

Hope it helps
