Installing GeoIP - maxminddb_module and libmaxminddb Errors

After installing maxminddb_module and libmaxminddb from

http://maxmind.github.io/mod_maxminddb/ and https://github.com/maxmind/libmaxminddb

On restarting apache, I get the following error:

Syntax error on line 243 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_maxminddb.so into server: libmaxminddb.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

httpd.conf line 243 is:

LoadModule maxminddb_module   /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_maxminddb.so

It seems everything is in its right place, but I can't get them all to play nice and talk to each other. Would appreciate some assistance. Thanks!

From https://github.com/maxmind/libmaxminddb :

If after installing, you receive an error that libmaxminddb.so.0 is missing you may need to add the lib directory in your prefix to your library path. On most Linux distributions when using the default prefix (/usr/local), you can do this by running the following commands:

$ sudo sh -c "echo /usr/local/lib  >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf"
$ ldconfig

Try running sudo ldconfig and see if that fixes the problem.
