I'm not as familiar with Linux as with other Unix-like systems, but
when you install a new library you might need to run ldconfig
afterwards to add it to the runtime linker's cache.  The cache
probably persists across reboots or is rebuilt during system boot;
maybe somebody more Linux-centric can give a better answer.
