I concur, Pete, but there's probably some weird reason the OP needs F11
(even though it's, what, five years old).

IIRC, the problem is that the OP needs to add

	/usr/local/lib64

to his /etc/ld.so.conf file, or create an "/etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf"
file containing that line, then run (as the root user):

	ldconfig -v

This should ensure that the run-time linker looks in /usr/local/lib64
for libraries in addition to the usual spots.
