Kevin,

With respect in this case the executable is not finding libproj.so
at *runtime*, not build time.  A completely different animal.  You
likely need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point
to (or include) /usr/local/lib, or fiddle with /etc/ld.conf to include
that directory and then re-run ldconfig.

Please disregard any impoliteness or bad spelling in the above.  I'm
most of the way through a bottle of my mother-in-laws homemade wine.

Best regards,
