/usr/bin/nxagent: error while loading shared libraries: libXcomp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

published docs. The solution described is to build and install
nxcomp. It's evident why the standard "world" installation for the
whole kit failed- the nxcomp package is not fully developed. There is
no 'install' target in the Makefile. So anyone who needs nxcomp has
to do things manually.
This is what I tried:
$ ./configure
$ make
That part was documented in nxcomp/README. Then I figured out that
these steps are also needed:
$ ln -s /usr/local/nx/nxcomp/libXcomp.so.3 /usr/lib/libXcomp.so.3
$ ln -s /usr/local/nx/nxcomp/libXcomp.so /usr/lib/libXcomp.so
$ ln -s /usr/local/nx/nxcomp/libXcomp.so.3.4.0 /usr/lib/libXcomp.so.3.4.0
$ ldconfig /usr/local/nx/nxcomp/libXcomp*
$ ldconfig /usr/lib/libXcomp*
I verifed that the library is now supposed to be found:
$ ldd /usr/bin/nxagent

Two libs are still missing - but that's not the current problem. Even
though libXcomp.so.3 is found by ldd, it's still missing when nxagent
runs:
/usr/bin/nxagent: error while loading shared libraries: libXcomp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Why is nxagent failing to find it on execution, but then finding it
when ldd probes it?
