I didn't touch ld.so.conf . I simply added a file to the /etc/ld.so.conf.d directory. I see that the manual page implies that /lib(64) and /usr/lib(64) are searched *after* others specified in ld.so.conf .

Yes, this would work, but it is a pain. I guess if Oracle must ship their versions of core system libraries, it is required. Bad form, though. -- Garry T.
