   The variable is set in .bash_profile and should be set during login (also    
   set in .bashrc).   
      
     echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH   
      
   at the shell prompt confirms the value for the variable that was set.

   I neglected to mention that I have been in contact with the developer, and    
   after 5-6 cycles of email to try to sort this out, he is at a loss for    
   what to do.  He's checked several files created during the configure/make    
   processing, and he can't figure out why the library files are not found.   
      
   I have posted this problem in the comp.os.linux.development.apps group as    
   suggested by responder 'Hadron'.  At the moment I am preparing outputs    
   requested by another responder in that group:   listings (ls -alF) of the    
   directories in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH search, ldd outputs for the tests to    
   show their library dependencies, and the values of the relevant    
   environmental variables.  I am also trying to clear up what may be library    
   conflicts too:  for example, I had built/installed Qt4 but the package    
   depends on Qt3, and Qt4 is not backwards-compatible.   
      
   I will post to this thread in this and the other group when I have    
   prepared the outputs.
