rsync: fatal: libpopt.so.0: open failed

I was trying to use Rsync on a Solaris machine and received the following error message:

ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/rsync: fatal: libpopt.so.0: open failed: No such file or directory

I discovered from http://www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/sunmanagers/2002-May/014178.html that it is an evil LD_LIBRARY issue which can be overcome with the following (as root):

crle -l /usr/lib:/usr/local/lib

crle -u
