I think it would help you understand the problem if you first know which
wossname is executed (call 'which wossname' to learn it), then using the
'ldd' command you can check which shared libraries that wossname
executable is using.

If you don't have specific reasons it is always better to install the
latest stable release of EMBOSS, which is EMBOSS-5.0.0
