So only broken during the test? That sounds like what James B was 
looking into. I can't speak intelligently to that issue without more work.


I probably can help, at least somewhat, with this:

I agree that's not right. It should be something like /usr/local/lib64.

I just pushed a tiny change to master:

commit eee4607b256a5fb4263bd83b75f311e36be3a9ad

     configure: Print LIBDIR

     This may be helpful for debugging install issues.

Can you run that and see what LIBDIR is set to for you at configure time?

Agreed.
