As a suggestion, try running 'ldconfig' as root and then give it another go.
Ldconfig looks in each of the directories specified in /etc/ld.so.conf
(/usr/local/lib should be in there) for shared system libraries and sets
them up ready for use.

Subject: Re: Install issue on SLES-10
Sorry for the lack of information. I had actually run the full make, then
make install. When I tried to run make install again, the response was that
nothing needed to be done, as expected. The library was actually installed
in /usr/local/lib. Apparently it did not get on some type of configuration
list for the dynamic library loader. That is the issue I am trying to
solve.
Your suggestion of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH worked temporarily, but I need to
make that configuration permanent on the system. Do you have any
suggestions?
