*** BINGO!!! ***
After commenting out my setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /etc/profile
(I am using an old /etc/profile from another machine - you probably
know that, too - always carrying with you the configuration that
worked (never change a working configuration!) :-) ) everything
worked absolutely flawlessly!
And now I also understand why everything worked right from the
start on the other machine - I must have changed the /etc/profile
there, more thoroughly than on this machine!
So thanks *a lot* for your decisive help!!
Best regards,
