This is not true.  A program linked against a shared library will frequently say
"command not found" if it can't find the shared library (either because it is
missing, has not been added to ld.so.conf, or is not in $LDLIBRARYPATH).  For
example, you might see:

bash: find: command not found

This does not mean that find can't be found.  It means that find can open the shared
library it was linked against.  Everyone goes and looks, and of course find is right
where they expect it.  The most common cause of this is building a library by hand
and forgetting to run ldconfig.  Usually installing from a package handles this for
you.
