You need to make a shared library, if your Linux distro does not provide one (and e.g. Fedora does but puts the include files somewhere no package finds them), or (less satisfactorily) to compile a static library with -fPIC. Also, you do need to change the default directory for the library to /usr/local/lib64. I've just looked at what I did last weeek, and in 3.6.2 you can do ./configure --enable-shared --disable-static --libdir=/usr/local/lib64 make all install to get a shared library in the right place. (In e.g. 3.6.1 it was much harder.) -- Brian D.
