Hi Melanie,

I think the problem may be that you are trying to execute "make check install"
using sudo, and the setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not inherited by the root
user through sudo, as this would be a security problem.

Try running "make check" as the same user who set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but not
using sudo.  Then, if that works, you can run "sudo make install", which
will not need LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to /usr/local/lib to run correctly.

In order to successfully run "make check" as a normal user after having
tried to run it with "sudo", you may need to first run "sudo make clean"
or start over from the compressed tar file.
