On some systems, the self-tests may fail if you have an older version
of the library already installed. To avoid this, try
  $ make install
  $ make check

Or if you hesitate to do "make install" before you know that it's OK,
you may do a build with "./configure --disable-shared; make; make check";
such a build should not be influenced by the things that you have
installed in /usr/local.
