Fortunately, on Linux fixing that is relatively easy. Just add a line
containing the directory /usr/local/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf file, and
then run ldconfig.
ldconfig -v
The output of that command should include a list of libraries in
/usr/local/lib, so you can see that it is finding it (you'll probably want
to pipe the output through less so you can watch for it).
