pindel fails with error while loading shared libraries: libhts.so.3

[myourshaw]

I had to compile pindel using the suggestions for htslib from the FAQ, and the patches mentioned in Issue 111 Problems in installing pindel, including correcting the #include <math.h> misleading instruction.
I got "Pindel successfully compiled." But when I ran pindel, I got this error:

./pindel: error while loading shared libraries: libhts.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libhts.so.3 in fact exists in /usr/local/lib and also in the directory parallel to pindel, /home/myourshaw/apps/pindeltest/htslib.

pindel will work if I copy the library and symlink to the pindel directory

cp ../htslib/libhts.so .
ln -s libhts.so libhts.so.3
