[ROOT] Problem with finding libCore.so at runtime

I'm having the following problem when installing ROOT v3.05.03 from source
on to a Linux (RedHat 7.3) PC with the following configure options (run in
directory ~lhcb/tmp):

./configure linux --with-shift-libdir=/lhcb/sw/lib/rh73_gcc2952
--prefix=/lhcb/software/sw/packages/ROOT/v3.05.03/rh73_gcc2952/root

all configures, compiles and installs happily but when I attempt to run
ROOT I have problems:

buckley@pcda:~$ root (this points to the newly installed version)
/lhcb/software/sw/packages/ROOT/v3.05.03/rh73_gcc2952/root/bin/root.exe:
error while loading shared libraries: libCore.so: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory

while the libCore.so file clearly exists:

buckley@pcda:~$ ls
/lhcb/software/sw/packages/ROOT/v3.05.03/rh73_gcc2952/root/lib/root/
libCint.so         libGX11.so         libMinuit.so      libRLDAP.so
libCore.so         libGX11TTF.so      libMySQL.so       libThread.so
libEG.so           libHbook.so        libNew.so         libTreePlayer.so
libGeomPainter.so  libHistPainter.so  libPhysics.so     libTree.so
libGeom.so         libHist.so         libPostscript.so  libTreeViewer.so
libGpad.so         libHtml.so         libProof.so       libX3d.so
libGraf3d.so       libKrb5Auth.so     libRFIO.so
libGraf.so         libMatrix.so       libRGL.so
libGui.so          libMC.so           libRint.so

Any suggestions as to how I can fix this problem and make ROOT find its
libraries at runtime?

Cheers,
Andy
