gnucap does not try to be smart about file locations and runpath
settings. that's all up to you (or a package distributor), or "not
implemented".

depending on what your platform is, you could try to set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. probably the file in question is located in
/usr/local/lib. then
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib gnucap
might work for you.
