Yes, that is the first thing I checked.

I just tested again:  ran ldconfig, and moved libvga.so.* (cp -a) from 
/usr/lib/ to /usr/local/lib, and zgv could no longer find libvga.so.1 
until I moved them back to /usr/lib.

I have had this problem for years.  palm-db-tools specifically said to 
make sure /usr/local/lib was in ld.so.conf if you were doing a standard 
make install.  I had already put it there.

Some programs can find their libraries in /usr/local/lib.
libsqlite3 works there, and libpng12.
