Just for future googling...
The object libraries that can be used by modules (either directly or
referenced by XS sections of the perl) must be either in a ld
specified RPATH or must be in the system loader library path [which
for reference (in linux and solaris) set by the ld.conf file (and as
processed).
The library that I was looking for did not have a symbolic link in a
directory that was searched (ld.conf), so the xxx.so.2.7 file had been
available during the make / build / ld process, but it wasn't found at
run time.
I added a symbolic link to the file. I could have modified the
ld.conf file and re-run ldd as an alternative
/// I figured out that the library was missing when I was debuging a
small demo program. The use statement completed without error.
Stepping into the first call to the perl module (inside of @INC) and
tracing execution inside of the module failed at a call to a function.
The error message returned text indicating that an entry point was not
found. This missing entry point was a well known connection/
initialization name in the C++ API.
My conclusion was that the library had not been loaded at run-time.
