Getting into weird grey area for me... Taking a semi-logical guess,  
are the permissions on the library directories and referenced  
libraries themselves such that nagios can read and execute them?

check_ping is somewhat special in that it's just a fancy wrapper for (/ 
usr)/bin/ping. ping must be SUID root to be run by the nagios user/ 
check_ping so you might want to verify that. Do you see the same  
symptoms with other plugins (check_http for example)?
