    # To subscribers of the xforms list from "Sexton, Veronica Ms" <sextonv@SILL.ARMY.MIL> :

    You need to have that directory in one of your paths. I usually add the path
    to a file in the /etc directory, (ack! I can't remember the name correctly,
    but it starts with ld). Then I run ldconfig. This adds all directories from
    the file in the /etc directory to be looked for when linking.

    Look up ldconfig in the man pages to see how to use it correctly.

    Another choice is to put the path in your PATH environment variable, but
    this doesn't always work well.
