From one of my customers I got an application. When I try to run it I got following error

error while loading shared libraries: ./libvtkWidgets.so.5.4: file too short

In my project structure I see following:

-rwxrwxrwx  1 tomasz tomasz       20 2011-02-01 10:44 libvtkWidgets.so
-rwxrwxrwx  1 tomasz tomasz       22 2011-02-01 10:44 libvtkWidgets.so.5.4
-rwxrwxrwx  1 tomasz tomasz  2147103 2011-02-01 10:44 libvtkWidgets.so.5.4.2

Is my shared library libvtkWidgets corrupted ? How to solve that error ?
