Thanks, but what's the permanent solution for this? Also, the
installing shared library section (3.5) of this how-to [1] seems to
indicate that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is for debugging and testing only and
not for installing libraries. And what about this [2]? 

By the way, they also recommend compiling object files with the -fPIC
flag for some reason.
