When you say "in my path" do you mean in your PATH environmental 
variable, or do you mean in your /etc/ld.so.conf?  The latter is what 
you need.  If you have just added /usr/local/lib, you will need to run 
ldconfig before the libraries can be loaded.  Beyond that I could not be 
sure what is causing the error without further information.
