My first guess is that this is a problem with your library path, probably
the environment variable named LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This is what the system
checks during both compile time and run time to find libraries. The make
utility sets the libpath during compile time, but you may have to set it
yourself during run time. If you don't already have a copy of _Modeling with
Data_, download a PDF of it at modelingwithdata.org and have a look at
Appendix A, which covers some of the details of path-setting in detail.
There's also an online appendix on the same site which covers some of these
issues.

Please let us know if that's the problem (or not),
