The last line shows the link libqscintilla.so pointing to 
libqscintilla.so.5.0.0, which definitely is the result of the  
qscintilla-1.61-gpl-1.4 build, with libqscintilla.so.4.0.0 being the previous 
(1.60-gpl-1.3) installation.

I'm sorry, I'm a linux boob, I'm not a C/C++ programmer: I have no idea if 
another QScintilla library is hiding elsewhere in the system, masking this 
installation, I'm sort of wishing for a "which libqscintilla.so" command. 
Since its a python script that is finding this lib, would it be some 
extension module installed with Python?
