obconf 1.5 troubles...

[Marv Boyes]

Hello, everyone. I hate to burden the list with newbie troubles in my 
very first post, but I'm not having any luck with obconf 1.5 (under 
openbox 3.2 on a Mandrake 9.2 machine).

I was able to get obconf to build and install, but when I try to run it, 
I get the following:

obconf: error while loading shared libraries: libobrender.so.1: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory

However, a 'locate libobrender' gives me this:

/home/marv/programs/openbox-3.2/render/.deps/render_libobrender_la-color.Plo
/home/marv/programs/openbox-3.2/render/.deps/render_libobrender_la-font.Plo
/home/marv/programs/openbox-3.2/render/.deps/render_libobrender_la-gradient.Plo
/home/marv/programs/openbox-3.2/render/.deps/render_libobrender_la-image.Plo
/home/marv/programs/openbox-3.2/render/.deps/render_libobrender_la-instance.Plo
/home/marv/programs/openbox-3.2/render/.deps/render_libobrender_la-mask.Plo
/home/marv/programs/openbox-3.2/render/.deps/render_libobrender_la-render.Plo
/home/marv/programs/openbox-3.2/render/.deps/render_libobrender_la-theme.Plo
/usr/local/lib/libobrender.so.1.1.0
/usr/local/lib/libobrender.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libobrender.so
/usr/local/lib/libobrender.la
/usr/local/lib/libobrender.a

libobrender.so.1 would appear to be presently living in /usr/local/lib-- 
is this not good?

Honestly, I'm at a complete loss. No idea what ought to be where. Any 
and all guidance would be greatly appreciated, because OB3 is knocking 
my socks off & will be my new WM of choice as soon as I can figure out 
how to configure it.

Thanks again,
Marv
