Hmm. Doesn't happen here. (BTW: Remember to include as much
information about your system as you can think of. It's not obvious
whether you're running RedHat or SuSE for instance and in what

This would seem to be the problem: the dynamic library isn't there.
Did you get any error messages while compiling the package? (Except
for "...might be used uninitialized..." of which there are quite a few
here too).
