Thanks for your advice...

I added /usr/local/lib to my /etc/ld.so.config, removed the existing cache  
and perfomed a /sbin/ldconfig.  This seems to have worked.  I now have very 
nice pictures (after installing the d4d plugin).  However, I have no sound.  
I assume the default sound plugin is incorrect for my setup.  How do know 
what plugin do use?  Should I just install all of the sound plugins? (I 
assume they would also get installed with ./configure --prefix=/usr/local, 
make, make install.)
