Why do you describe the installation of the library as separate from
compiling the examples? I assume you are building the library from the
tarball, where running 'make' at the top level builds the library and
then the examples. You don't install the library between the two steps.
Not that installing the library is a problem here. It's just not
necessary, because the examples in the tarball look in ../lib for the
headers and libraries. I just wonder if you are doing something odd
when building the library.

Aha, a MacOS X system, then. Nobody has yet reported success (or
failure, for that matter) on this platform.
libtool should handle the library linking issues for you here. If you
are building the library correctly, the only thing I can suggest is to
maybe search the archives on the libtool mailing list to see if this
sort of problem is common on OS X still. Maybe upgrading X Tools or
just the autotools suite will fix the problem.
