That could be because the linker doesn't know it's supposed to search /usr/local/lib or that it's database is out of date. Either way it's an issue with your local system. > Browsing through /usr/local/lib with 'kwrite', I notice that the > permissions for 'libparrot.so.0.4.1' are -rwxr-xr-x, whereas for many of the > other shared libraries the permissions are 'lrwxr-xr-x'.
