How do I get ldconfig to recognize my shared libs?
Since the rpm doesn't contain a man page, I had a bit of 
trouble with this.  You have to create a file called ld.so.conf
in /etc.  It should contain a list of directories to be searched for
shared libraries.  Mine looks like:
 
/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/X11/lib
/usr/local/lib
 
then, run ldconfig -v as root to read in and save the new changes.

Actually ld automatically looks in /lib and /usr/lib for shared
libraries so those entries are not necessary.
