to the end of /etc/ld.so.conf and then run ldconfig -v. This is a frequent issue when it comes to shared libraries that get installed in /usr/local/lib. I have no idea why most Linux distros don't like to put /usr/local/lib in ld.so.conf by default. It is extremely irritating, since most everything one builds from source installs there by default.
Interestingly, this is what /etc/ld.so.conf looked like before:
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
And this was in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf:
# libc default configuration
/usr/local/lib
The "include" line doesn't seem to do what it looks like it's supposed to do. :-p The man page for ldconfig doesn't mention "include" at all (nor #-comments...). It would be funny if Linux Mint came with this kind of ld.so.conf but its version of ldconfig thought "include" was just another directory in the list.
