Simple answer: loadlib
Explanitory answer:
Under SunOS, the location of shared libraries is stored in a cache file
called /etc/ld.so.cache. The cache fileneeds to be rebuilt whenever a
shared library is added to the system. If you get an error like: ld.so:
libX11.so.4.20: no found the shared library cache needs to be updated.
runnind the ldconfig command (as root) should fix your problem.
Rebooting also works since ldconfig is run from /etc/rc.local at boot
time (or it ought to be...)
