Crystal clear, but as would suggest to put a warning at the end of the 
BASIC installation process.
(Or better, add an installation step before rrdjtool compilation,
 vi /etc/profile or other resource and put: export 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:<PATH_TO_NEWLY_COMPILED_RRD_LIB>
As this involves a manual intervention of the admin who will install the MA.
Indeed, the installation script, set this value automatically in its own 
shell when compiling rrdjtool.
When the session is closed this environment variable is unset, leading 
to rrdtool issue.
