Well, we just answered that one earlier today (see
http://www.clusterresources.com/pipermail/torqueusers/2008-July/007724.html,
and the rest of the thread).  The end result is this:

By default Ubuntu doesn't include /usr/local/lib in the list of
directories to search for dynamic-linked libraries.  So, the best
approach is to add that path to the end of /etc/ld.so.conf, and run
"ldconfig" to update.  Then try your "torque.setup" again.
