Sorry, but is this an insult, a joke or did you just decide to not
read the OP? 
On my box: 


 ralf at hobbes:/$ ldd /sbin/fdisk 
    libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0fea2000)
    /lib/ld.so.1 => /lib/ld.so.1 (0x30000000)
 ralf at hobbes:/$ 

where does libparted come in here? IF you don't understand this, try to
resize a partitiion with fdisk ... (no, dont'!).

To the OP: have you tried 'parted'? That's basically the comandline 
interface to libparted.
