This means the soname of gmp 4.2.1 and 4.2.17 is the same (or you'd have
got an "error while loading shared libraries ..." message). But that
also means that adding /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf would _NOT_
solve your problem since the loader would still find libgmp.so.X in
/usr/lib first.

If you want to have two different shared libraries sharing the same
soname on the same system, then there is no other solution than setting
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point explicitely to the version you want to use.
