I tried this from an xterm as a normal user. Other X progs work.

$ ldd ./tlpmgui
 linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
 libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0xf7f4a000)
 libm.so.6 => /lib32/tls/libm.so.6 (0xf7f27000)
 libc.so.6 => /lib32/tls/libc.so.6 (0xf7e0f000)
 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7f64000)

I would expect some X11 related libraries here.  Do you get similar
output?

I assumed that it was written Perl and converted to C.
