    I suggest copying /usr/local/lib/libfribidi* into
    /usr/lib, as this is probably where your loader
    expects things to be. Alternately, rebuild and install
    fribidi. Make sure to configure fribidi with
    --prefix=/usr

    Alternately, you can change your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    environment variable or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to also
    search /usr/local/lib for the appropriate libraries.
