Hi Ralf,

I used:  ../configure && make && make install and that installed it
to /usr/local/lib.  However, /usr/local/lib, despite being in /etc/ld.so.conf,
it was not in ld.so.cache.  re-running ldconfig did the trick.  I've had
/usr/local/lib in the cache for years now, so I don't know how it went
missing.  I'm chalking it up to some update anomaly.

Thanks for the response, tho!  Regards, Bruce
