Which distro are you using?

How did you replace (which commands did you use) 4.16.3 with 4.16.5?

How did you remove 4.16.5 and return to 14.6.3 (which commands)?

I believe Zorin is built on Ubuntu/Debian. These distros have separated the locations of the 32-bit and 64-bit library directories, so when building from source, you need to specify the correct library directory. So for example, you should specify at least the following 2 parameters to the configure/autogen scripts:

• --prefix=/usr

• --libdir=/usr/lib/$(uname -m)-linux-gnu

So for example:

./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib/$(uname -m)-linux-gnu

...and this should put all the files in the correct locations to find them.
