If that fixed something, there is something on the operating system so
badly broken as to beggar the imagination; any linker on a purportedly
UNIX-compatible system (such as Linux) that doesn't look in "/usr/lib"
*by default* is extremely broken.

I'd suggest complaining to Red Hat about that, or trying to debug the
problem further.
