  This seems the most permanent solution.

  I added that to the startup script for suricata as a temporary
workaround.

  My understanding of the linux filesystem was that /usr/* and
/usr/local/* were the default and would appear in the various PATHs by
default. Although that is true for my dev system, it is not for the
main server. The environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not defined
by default; there must be some other way that the library paths are
defined and searched, and some way to modify them without creating the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.
