Hello Jean Paul,

Since you installed into `/usr/local`, you should be able to fix the 'error 
while loading shared libraries' by running 'make check' as follows:

    $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib make check

More information about this environmental variable may be found in section 3.5 
of the following page:

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html

In a nutshell, it tells the system where to look for shared libraries; on 
modern linux systems, `/usr/local/lib` is not in this path by default.  So you 
will need to either specify it manually every time you run a program which 
links against a library in `/usr/local/lib`, or you will need to set it as a 
persistent environmental variable as appropriate for the shell you are using.

I hope this helps!
