Solution found:

I ended up using crle to add to the default library path:

# crle -u -l /usr/local/lib

Following great advice on this list (thanks all) I had tried using
LDFLAGS="-R/usr/local/lib", LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and --with-libraries=/usr/local/lib, none of which stopped the error. I also
used crle to modify the trusted directories as someone suggested but this
turned out not to be needed.

I don't know why crle was necessary (I've not needed this before) and the
other methods didn't work. Other compiled software on the same servers
doesn't have this problem and I've not needed it with amanda before.

Thanks again for the help,

Jim
