Two possible solutions:
1. Set LD_LIBRAR_PATH to include the directory where libsip.so* resides;
   this is only a temporary fix, because LD_LIBRARY_PATH, especially
   when set globally in your login environment, is nearly always
   a bad idea.
2. Recompile/link the complete package and include -R{dir-with-libs},
   or -rpath {dir-with-libs}, or set LD_RUN_PATH accordingly
   (depends on your compile/link environment, e.g. our Solaris gcc
   is LD_RUN_PATH aware, my Linux box at home needs -rpath.

Hope that helps.
