I then brought up /etc/ld.so.conf and added

This might be a long shot, but I'm thinking that it is a dependency
that libgavi.so.0 needs that is causing the problem. i.e. it is trying
to call another library and it isn't there. Not sure how you would
verify that, unless it is in the logs somewhere, or you install the
libgavi-devel package so you can then run gdb on the process to find
out where it is failing.
My own guess is that libgavl's home in /usr/local/lib/ is not in the
default library search path in /etc/ld.so.conf and /etc/ld.so.conf.d/.
ldconfig -p | grep '/usr/local' will probably be empty. Google around a
bit before making too much of this; I've never done it myself.
Well, everyone was helpful. Turned out that when I ran "echo
LD_LIBRARY_PATH" it was empty. I added /usr/local/lib by typing (I
think): ]$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib and then:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
That should do it, at least until I have to shut down and boot up
again. :)
Tom
Google on "linux library search path" to find out why LD_LIBRARY_PATH isn't
such a good idea.
I'm afraid to look. :)
What's a better alternative?
AIUI, either putting the lib in a standard location (/usr/lib) or adding a
file to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ and then running ldconfig (man ldconfig). The
suggestion was that LD_LIBRARY_PATH affects all uses of shared libs and
that can have unintended consequences. Perhaps /usr/local/lib is safe
enough.
RATS! At one point, I came across something on google, and entered a
line in /etc/ld.so.conf, not ld.so.conf.d, then ran ldconfig. It didn't
work, of course.
