[postgis-users] can't find lwlgeom

[Chris mollis]

I've been googling around the web, and my problem appears to be fairly 
common.. although I haven't seen a good explanation for it..  I've 
installed PG 8.3.1.. and postgis.

Looks like everything installs correctly..  when I run make check, I get 
the (somewhat common) can't load share lib $libdir/

psql:lwpostgis.sql:44: NOTICE:  type "histogram2d" is not yet defined
DETAIL:  Creating a shell type definition.
psql:lwpostgis.sql:44: ERROR:  could not access file 
"$libdir/liblwgeom.so.1": No such file or directory

**NOTE:  when I run ldconfig -v  liblwgeom.so.1 shows up.. but the 
original error was "$libdir/liblwgeom" not found.. I actually modified 
lwpostgis.sql to use liblwgeom.so.1   What should it be ?

This error seems common enough that there would be a pretty simple 
explanation for it..  how I can be sure that the libraries were  built 
correctly? 

Kind of stumped right now.. not really clear what it's supposed to be.  
ANY help would be appreciated.. thanks
