OK, this package installs everything under /usr/local.

Did you installed expat?

Another approach:

pkginfo | grep -i expat
# Copy the name of the package
pkgchk -v <package name>

This was only to make sure that it was installed and where.

Now, /usr/local/lib is not in the default dynamic loader search path, as I said
there are several ways to solve this, use crle, set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc.

Your problem has nothing to do with "stability", is just that /usr/local is not
in the default path for anything. If you install non-Sun packages (Sunfreeware
or Blastwave) you have to configure your environment accordingly.
