 The problem your running into here is a common one. That is that the libraries are runtime linked and need to be identified to the system. The fix is to edit the file /etc/ld.so.conf and enter the directory(s) where the library(s) in question are located then run ldconfig at a command prompt after you of course save the file you just edited.
