Yep - you need to tell the Linux linker to check that directory for libraries. Since
you're on RedHat, edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add this directory to the end of the file.
Then run /sbin/ldconfig (as root) to update the cache, and check with /sbin/ldconfig -p
If you have an "installation.html" file it should cover this there. The key thing when
you install from source is to read *all* the instructions (twice, making notes)
otherwise, without experience the error messages can be a little bewildering.
