It seems that that is where it is installed from the package libgnomeui-0.
I don't see that path in ld.so.conf but man ld.so says that it looks
(after other paths) in default path /usr/lib. Would that include sub
directories?

libgnome.so is in the same place on 10.04 (and so.conf is pretty much
the same) where it runs ok.
