Yes that would work.  My point was that currently what is being done,
doesn't seem to work.

Well, that was why I was doing a Google search, to try and see which
approach you were "supposed" to use.  On my Kubuntu system, there is
only one file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d, so I was thinking that adding a
file to that directory was not used.

Creating symlinks is easy enough in the script and was what we did before.
