First, try running "ldconfig" as root.  That will make the dynamic linker 
refresh its cache of what dynamic libraries are on the system.

If that doesn't work, check /etc/ld.so.conf and see if /usr/local/lib is 
listed in there (most likely it is, though, which is why I recommend trying 
ldconfig first).  If it's not, add it.  This is the file that lists "extra" 
places besides the default ones where dynamic link libraries can live.  
Then run "ldconfig" as root again.

If /usr/local/lib is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf, and ldconfig doesn't fix it, 
then you've reached the end of my poor knowledge, I'm afraid.  :-(
