You don't just copy executables here and there (unless instructed to do so)
You install via package manager
sudo apt-get install strace
usually linux programs (installed the proper way) come with man(ual) page,
so
man strace
will help you understand how the program can be run and of course you have
google or a like
you run strace with the executable you want to trace
sudo strace ldconfig
