Did you add the line in ld.so.conf in first position or in last position?
Could be related to ordering.

Or, more simply, what you specify in ld.so.conf has precedence against
/lib and /usr/lib, so the Oracle lib always wins. (man ld.so seems
to suggest this).
In that case you should not modify ld.so.conf for Oracle. Just run Oracle
with a suitable LD_LIBRARY_PATH and do not pollute the system config.
The Oracle installer should have created a oraenv file somewhere for you;
it messes with some env vars, including LD_LIBRARY_PATH. You should run it
(with ". /xxxx/oraenv") before Oracle.
