Hi Gilbert,

The LDM uses these libraries dynamically, i.e., they are used when they
are needed and they are not compiled into the code like a static library
would be.  So you don't need to recompile the LDM, but you do need to
restart it so it will use the new libraries.   However, if you have
other applications that use the libraries statically they would need to
be recompiled.  A reboot is not necessary.
