Are you specifying 

  --prefix <FOO> 

to the configure command?  

If so, you'll need to add <FOO>/lib and <FOO>/lib64 to ld.so.conf.
This bogus requirement is a result of a seriously flawed "fix" by the
Debian libtool maintainer ( != the upstream libtool maintainer).  The
changes that Debian has made (which Ubuntu uses) break the ability to
test code before installation.  The full story is kind of involved, 
and has to do with them coding a --rpath into the executables BEFORE
they are installed.
