This means the soname of gmp 4.2.1 and 4.2.17 is the same (or you'd have got an "error while loading shared libraries ..." message). But that also means that adding /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf would _NOT_ solve your problem since the loader would still find libgmp.so.X in /usr/lib first. If you want to have two different shared libraries sharing the same soname on the same system, then there is no other solution than setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point explicitely to the version you want to use.
