I think Scrot-0.8 is a glibc2 program.  glibc2 programs
do not work on libc5 (which is the library BL3 has).

I think Captura is a glibc2 program.  The "not found"
probably means the glibc2 library was not found.

Execute:  which Captura
That will tell you in which directory it is.
Then cd to that directory and execute:  ldd Captura
(this assumes Captura is the name of the executable)

All Slack'4 packages are libc5.  They are compatible with BL3.  
Later Slackwares (and most executables available for download
from other Linux sites) are glibc2.  They are not compatible
with BL3 (unless you upgrade the BL3 libraries to glibc2).
