It may exist, but is it in the dynamic linker's search path?

You didn't say what platform this is, but on Linux you normally have to
negotiate with ldconfig, or else set rpath in the referencing shlib,
if you want to use shlibs that are in nonstandard directories.

Nothing, AFAIR. But you may have dropped an rpath spec when rebuilding
your library, or forgotten about a ldconfig adjustment you made on the
old machine.
