I assume that it behaves as if ld.so.conf contained the result of
"cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf", so look at what's in those files.

Wow; 65 attempts and it still fails.

At a wild guess, I'd assume that it's a 32-bit/64-bit mismatch. The
output from strace suggests that it's looking for a 32-bit library,
but if proj is in /usr/lib64, I'd assume that it's a 64-bit library.

If it *requires* a 32-bit library and you only have a 64-bit library,
no amount of configuration will make it work. But I don't have a
64-bit system, so I'm not too familiar with the issues involved.
