Same issue on ProxyChains-3.1 (Ubuntu 14.04).

In `/usr/bin/proxychains`:

```
export LD_PRELOAD=libproxychains.so.3
```

The path is wrong.

For example, on a amd64 machine, this line should be:

```
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libproxychains.so.3
```

In my case,

    export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libproxychains.so.3

did not work. I also added this line to my `.bashrc` and refreshed it by `source ~/.bashrc`

**Solution:**
You need to add/edit it to `proxychains` by:

    sudo gedit /usr/bin/proxychains

if on 32bit Ubuntu and derivatives, replace `x86_64-linux-gnu` with `i386-linux-gnu`
