I'd be wary of touching the ld.so.cache. Besides, I suspect the problem 
is with the way that the backend and stow interact. Having done a quick 
scan of the stow documentation my guess is since ORBit was configured 
with --prefix=usr/local/stow/ORBit2-2.9.6 that it is searching for the 
backend underneath that directory. Whereas orbitcpp was configured with 
--prefix=/usr/local/stow/orbitcpp-1.3.8 so it put the backend library 
under that directory tree. Even though everything get symlinked under 
/usr/local/ the idl compiler doesn't bother looking there.
