The question is:

Is there any way to find out what are the libraries linked to an executable?

Yes you can. The following command will assist you in finding the libraries associated with executibles in unix.

OS: SunOS 5.10 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R

Command: ldd

Location: /usr/bin/ldd

On HP there is a similar command called: chatr

Example:

# ldd /u01/oradba/product/10.2.0.3/bin/lsnrctl

libclntsh.so.10.1 => /u01/oradba/product/10.2.0.3/lib/libclntsh.so.10.1
libnnz10.so => /u01/oradba/product/10.2.0.3/lib/libnnz10.so
libkstat.so.1 => /lib/64/libkstat.so.1
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/64/libnsl.so.1
libsocket.so.1 => /lib/64/libsocket.so.1
libgen.so.1 => /lib/64/libgen.so.1
libdl.so.1 => /lib/64/libdl.so.1
libsched.so.1 => /usr/lib/64/libsched.so.1
libc.so.1 => /lib/64/libc.so.1
libaio.so.1 => /lib/64/libaio.so.1
libm.so.2 => /lib/64/libm.so.2
librt.so.1 => /lib/64/librt.so.1
libmp.so.2 => /lib/64/libmp.so.2
libmd5.so.1 => /lib/64/libmd5.so.1
libscf.so.1 => /lib/64/libscf.so.1
libdoor.so.1 => /lib/64/libdoor.so.1
libuutil.so.1 => /lib/64/libuutil.so.1
/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R/lib/sparcv9/libc_psr.so.1
/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R/lib/sparcv9/libmd5_psr.so.1
