Yup. BSDs have a long tradition of twisting the library names and paths
(libdb-3.3.so becomes libdb3.so.3), and at least FreeBSD doesn't include
/usr/local in the default search path AFAIR.

I wonder where this junk comes from, my guess is that the renaming is a
leftover from the a.out times -- and FreeBSD's ldconfig will only take
libraries with a major number after the .so. :-/
