Thanks wouter - I get the feeling that adding it to the ld.so.conf path is the best way to go.
... I'm just having trouble finding the thing!!! I'm running on a shared host. On my account I have a folder named "etc" but there's no "ld.so.conf" in it (I've checked the hidden files) When I try "locate ld.so.conf" in the shell though, it returns /etc/ld.so.conf /etc/ld/so.conf.d Any idea how I can access ld.so.conf and add the path to it?
