I did that too.
Does ldconfig do anything other than make symlinks?
I had copied all the symlinks with cp -a.

The error message is that zgv cannot find libvga.so.1, which exists in 
/usr/local/lib and is symlinked to libvga.so.1.9.25 which also exists 
there.

man ldconfig suggests using environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH - would 
this be in /etc/profile and what exactly would the line look like in order 
to add /usr/local/lib?

I added to /etc/profile on the analogy of the PATH= line
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib"
and logged out and in again but no help.

ld.so.cache includes a list of libraries in /lib /usr/lib /usr/X11R6/lib 
and even /usr/i386-slackware-linux-gnulibc1 (all of which were already 
in ld.so.cache) but not /usr/local/lib, which I added at the beginning of 
ld.so.cache - am I missing some step?
