Yup, the shared libs must be present on the server, and they must be in
your runtime library path.  Are you compiling on one machine and
uploading the executable to another server?  If you do that then you
should make sure that both systems have identical configurations, this
will be especially important for your php_mapscript.so as well.

To find out which libaries are required by your executable, use
  ldd mapserv
or 
  ldd php_mapscript.so
