The ldd output is

but armadillo shouldn't show up in ldd because it is only headers,
right?  The output of nm -g applied to that shared object does list
the major, minor and patch members of the arma_version struct but has
them as undefined

                 U _ZN4arma12arma_version5majorE
                 U _ZN4arma12arma_version5minorE
                 U _ZN4arma12arma_version5patchE

I checked and I don't have any of the Ubuntu packages associated with
armadillo installed.

I really don't know what is going on.
