You should rather do what I said in my other post, but the immediate
solution to this problem is that you are looking for your libraries in
/usr/lib and they are not there.

They will be in /opt, probably /opt/tacacs/lib

You need to find the real location of libtacacs.so.1 and put that path
in /etc/ld.so.conf at the end then run ldconfig

This will enable the runtime loader to find and load your shared libs.
The problem will not show up when compiling and installing as the linker
always knows the location of the libs the compiler just built. Your
problem occurs later at runtime.
