CPPUNIT 1.8 installed on RH9 can't find shared library
Brought to you by:

I installed CPPUNIT 1.8.0 on a new RedHat9 installation
and I was able to get it to work with static libraries but I
was getting library not found errors for dynamic
libraries. I used all the defaults for configure and
install. Turns out that CPPUNIT was the first package to
install shared libraries into /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/lib
wasn't in the default list of locations that ld.so will look
(as defined by /etc/ld.so.conf ). I added "/usr/local/lib"
to "/etc/ld.so.conf" and ran ldconfig and all is working
now.
Not sure if the configuration/installation scripts should
check/warn about this or not.
