I suspect this problem is due to running "make check" as root.  It's OK
to run "make install" as root (or using "sudo"(, after "make check" has 
been run, but when "make check" tries to link as root, there are different
rules for linking to libraries in paths not configured in the system, due
to security concerns.

Try starting over from the configure step as a regular user (you may have to 
run "make clean" first as root).  Once that succeeds, you should be able to 
run "make install" as root.
