/usr/local/lib is not in the default runtime loader search path.

This application has a slightly broken makefile and/or configuration script. 
By default, it installs its libraries in a directory that is not searched by 
the loader, at runtime. Obviously broken.

There are several ways to solve this. The easiest way, the cop-out, is to 
fiddle with certain environment variables and/or configuration files in 
/etc. I'm not going to tell you how, because even though it's easier, it 
will lead to problems later down the line, and it's a broken solution.

The proper way, which requires more work, but is the right way to fix this, 
is to rebuild the application so its binaries get linked with the 
-R/usr/local/lib flag. If this application uses autoconf, this is done by 
passing an extra argument 'LDFLAGS=-R/usr/local/lib' to its configure 
script. If it uses a different configuration system, consult this 
application's help file for instructions on passing additional compiler 
options, for building.
