Yea I know, I built the source using, I think, the same or similar 
configure args and took pains to build the same version as the one in 
the distro.

I really prefer this approach though. The customer installs our rpm and 
the FR rpm. Then if desired they can run a script to install the needed 
integration files.

Nothing special about loading *.so files. We do it all the time so this 
must be something simple to fix.

I'll poke around the source to see if I can find out why...
