I still don't understand what it's picking from /usr/local/lib since /usr/local/lib is not in path or ld_library_path and ldd shows it loading from /usr/local/lib first no /usr/local. I must have an incomplete idea of the loading mechanism. Your suggestion of /opt is probably the easiest solution. Thanks.
