Hmmm .... what output do you get, when you just run
    /root# which xloadimage

Usually, a usage message comes from a syntax error in command args. Your
ldd might be trying to interpret 'xloadimage: Command not found' or
'No xloadimage found in .....'

I'd normally expect messages like that to go to stderr and not be passed
through a command substitution, but it depends on the behaviour of 'which'
and the shell ....
