question about install kscope 1.9.4

[loody]

Dear all:
I download kscope 1.9.4 and install it successfully on my Ubuntu 8.10.
But the kscopeapp cannot find the lib when I activate it.
(I find the lib is located at /usr/local/lib)
below is my log:
# kscopeapp
kscopeapp: error while loading shared libraries: libkscope_core.so.1:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
root at cc-T43:/# find ./usr/local -name 'libkscope_core.so.1'
./usr/local/lib/libkscope_core.so.1
#

does that mean kernel didn't take /usr/local/lib as default lib search
path or I miss something?
appreciate your help,
miloody
