Hi Mark,

Here's a better solution to the library detection problem, which is not
dependent on setting environment variables.  It is apparently the
correct Linux/*nix way of installing libraries.

The correct way to solve this problem is to let your machine know that
you have libraries in /usr/local/lib.  You do so using the "ldconfig"
program.

Here's how:
1- you login as root.
2- you add the line:
/usr/local/lib
   at the top of /etc/ld.conf
3- you run the command:
ldconfig
4- you logout;-) and you are done!

You won't need to repeat this when you install new libraries in
/usr/local/lib.

Have fun!

Etienne
