Dear Christiane,

It ought to be able to find the libraries if you've set the PATH
correctly. Let's say that you configured EMBOSS with:

  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/emboss

Then you will need to set your PATH to include /usr/local/emboss/bin

  a) bash:
       export PATH="$PATH /usr/local/emboss/bin"
  b) (t)csh
       set path=($path /usr/local/emboss/bin)
       rehash

If that doesn't work then, with SuSE you could add the following
line to /etc/ld.so.conf

    /usr/local/emboss/lib

and then type "ldconfig"
