Well when I did my build I also did some of it in my /home directory to
replicate the OP's process to a certain extent. To get everything to run
I symlinked the *.so's into the corresponding global directory covered
by ld.so.config and ran ldconfig. Then all was golden. Before that I got
similar error messages when CREATEing the postgis extension.
