The following is from 'man ldconfig':
ldconfig creates the necessary links and cache (for use by the run-time
linker, ld.so) to the most recent shared libraries found in the directories
specified on the com mand line, in the file /etc/ld.so.conf, and in the
trusted directories (/usr/lib and /lib). ldconfig checks the header and
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
file names of the libraries it encounters when determining which versions
should have their links updated. ldconfig ignores symbolic links when
scanning for libraries.
If it isn't finding things in /lib by default, someone has a rather serious
bug on their hands. Check the version of ldconfig and kin?
