Final report.
Everything works OK now.  I do not have any better explanation.

$ cd  ~/code/X11/xcb-demo/tests
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./flames

or

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
$ ./flames


it's strange that you have to put that directory in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It
should already be in /etc/ld.so.conf, I think


Yes, /etc/ld.so.conf contains a list of dynamic libraries (directory list).
I just had some weird problems with it because this Ubuntu is very new
installment.  Now it's OK and  LD_LIBRARY_PATH is no longer needed.


$ ls -l /etc/ld.so*
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 53156 2006-02-06 22:40 /etc/ld.so.cache  <-- Binary
dump of the actual cache
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    42 2006-02-06 22:39 /etc/ld.so.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    49 2006-02-05 11:09 /etc/ld.so.hwcappkgs

Update library cache
$ sudo ldconfig

Verify cache
$ sudo ldconfig -vv | grep XCB

ldconfig: Path `/usr/lib' given more than once
        libXCB.so.0 -> libXCB.so.0.0.0
        libXCBProperty.so.0 -> libXCBProperty.so.0.0.0

$  cat /etc/ld.so.conf

/usr/X11R6/lib/
/usr/local/lib/
/usr/lib/
-------------------------------------- -----------------------------

This is also handy way to check libraries
$ updatedb
$ locate  libXCB

Thanks
