[SOLVED] Application can't see existing library

I've installed an application:

[sms@new-host ~]$ ls /usr/local/bin | grep MinOZW
MinOZW

It installed libraries next to it:

[sms@new-host ~]$ ls /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig | grep libopenzwave
libopenzwave.so
libopenzwave.so.1.0
libopenzwave.pc

System sees the application but the application can not see the libraries:

[sms@new-host ~]$ MinOZW
MinOZW: error while loading shared libraries: libopenzwave.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What could be the reason?

Run `ldconfig`

If that doesn't do it, I would guess that the dynamic linker isn't setup to look in /usr/local/lib. You'd need to add a file to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/

Thank you, ldconfig did nothing but adding the file helped. Marking as solved. :-)
