How did you used FIND_LIBRARY exactly? (its arguments) Because if you used 
something like FIND_LIBRARY(NAMES toto) then it's probably intended 
behaviour. Does autoconf finds your library in that case using 
AC_CHECK_LIB(toto, ...)?

Seems more like a bad installation to me but I would also first look into what 
AC_CHECK_LIB() does in a similar position.
