This actually depend on the configuration of the dynamic loader (the files /etc/ld.so.conf, /etc/ld.so.conf.d/* and the environment variables LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LD_PRELOAD etc.) Allowing the user to override the default installation is considered a feature. I would say that the issue was that you had a library is /usr/local that was missing some dependencies. Note that GP was working correctly with both libraries once this was fixed. Cheers, Bill.
