Thanks, David; this worked perfectly. So, here are my updated
instructions for building FluidSynth on 64-bit Ubuntu:
1. No need to remove the Ubuntu packages of FluidSynth!
2. Build the FluidSynth RC. From the FluidSynth source directory:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DLIB_SUFFIX= ..
make
sudo make install
3. Update the library cache:
sudo ldconfig
This works for me. After uninstalling FluidSynth, make sure to manually
delete the *libfluidsynth.so* and *libfluidsynth.so.1* symlinks from
*/usr/local/lib/* and run *sudo ldconfig* again.
