Martin,

  I'm unfamiliar with OSF1, but in linux I need to run the 'ldconfig'
command after adding a new library in order to make the system aware of the
change. There's a database of installed libraries (and directories) that is
checked by configure. Perhaps this is why it cannot find the library you
just installed.
