The way I see it, your dynamic loader didn't get updated with your new
librairies, either because noone ever told him there was something new
to use, or because your (special) path is not in _his_ path.

on a debian 2.1, I would either do "ldconfig" in the first case,
or add your path to /etc/ld.so.conf and "ldconfig" again in the second.

hope this helps.
