Your run-time linker is not looking in /usr/local/lib for libraries.

Try this:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib

or

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $LD_LIBRARY_PATH\:/usr/local/lib
(if you're using tcsh or csh)

You can also add /usr/local/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf file and run 
ldconfig.
