Geraint,

which OS (Debian Linux, Suse, edHat, etc.) do you use?

We have several step-to-step descriptions (sorry for not making them 
open to everybody till now) for Win, Suse 9.x, Debian Woody and Sarge, 
Mandrake, RedHat and FreeBSD. I may send you the appropriate for you.

Fiorst of all - the easiest may be just to try a

# /sbin/ldconfig /usr/local/lib -v

and

# /sbin/ldconfig /local -v

to make the libs known to your system. Also add these pathes to the file 
/etc/ld.so.config, so you don't have to do this every time you reboot.

Greetings from Bonn, Till
