This is probably due to linux preferring libraries in a binary's RPATH
to the path in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  If you're going to build with shared
libraries, try doing a "make install" before running the tests so that
the tests get the correct libraries.  Also, we'd appreciate knowing
any workarounds for this problem.

Is there any particular reason you're configuring with --prefix=/usr?
It seems like a bad idea.
