base.cc example questions

["Brian J. Rohan" <bjrohan home com>]

I have just compiled the base.cc example from the gtk-- tutorial located
at sourceforge.net  I compiled the program without errors, however, when
I try running the compiled program I get the following message:

error in loading shared libraries: gtkmm-1.1.so.7: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory.


However I have gtkmm-1.1.so.7 in my /usr/local/lib directory.  What am I
not doing right?
