I installed the 0.20 version of MythTv from source last night on
Ubuntu, and everything seemed to go very well.  However, after
installing the program, I get the following error when Itry to run
either mythbackend or mythfrontend:

    mythfrontend: error while loading shared libraries: libmythtv-0.20.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The weird thing is that the file actually does exist:

    sh-3.1$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/libmythtv*
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       24 2006-09-28 21:43 /usr/local/lib/libmythtv-0.20.so -> libmythtv-0.20.so.0.20.0
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       24 2006-09-28 21:43 /usr/local/lib/libmythtv-0.20.so.0 -> libmythtv-0.20.so.0.20.0
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       24 2006-09-28 21:43 /usr/local/lib/libmythtv-0.20.so.0.20 -> libmythtv-0.20.so.0.20.0
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11556392 2006-09-28 21:43 /usr/local/lib/libmythtv-0.20.so.0.20.0

THe lib file is readable, wo why can't mythfrontend or mythbackend
find it?

Thanks a ton in advance for any help!
