Not necessarily. The soname isn't defined in the header file, is it?
(At compile time, it seems that the library was also 4.2.1, because
I get the same problem when using -static, i.e., by not using shared
libraries.)

So, couldn't the dynamic loader take into account /usr/local/lib
by default (before /usr/lib), just like cpp takes into account
/usr/local/include by default (before /usr/include)?

If this is really the only possibility, it should probably be set
in /etc/profile in the default configuration (at install time) and
other shell init files.
