Hi Trichy,
Blender is 32-bit only, which means you will need to have the *32-bit*
versions of the mentioned libraries.  All libraries in lib64
directories are 64-bit, and the ones in lib are 32-bit (well at least
in most cases, kernel modules are in a subdir of lib...).  I assume
you downloaded the binaries and not the source.  I have attempted to
compile blender to make it 64-bit, but it wasn't easy.  I had to hack
up the make files because it wasn't looking in the right place for
64-bit X libraries.
Since you don't have an internet connection, I suggest you use the
package selection GUI and look for "compat" or "32-bit" libraries and
install those.  I don't remember off hand how to install the 32-bit
libs (if they are included on the CDs/DVD) and I'm not in Linux at the
moment.  I remember I downloaded and compiled something like that, but
I don't remember if that was needed to run it, or for compiling (I
think compiling).
