It looks like Nettle 3.4.1 is only installed in /usr/lib64/. Also, the
book tries to chmod in /usr/lib/ and complains because the files don't
exist (I blew away my old installation). Also, even after running
ldconfig, the gnutls configure script is looking for it in /usr/lib/.
So, the files need to be copied to /usr/lib (after running chmod).
