Create a file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/

with name say "local.conf"
in this file type in:

/usr/local/lib

Save and exit.
Run (as root) "ldconfig -v"
Make sure you get libfft3 in the output of this command.

Thanks.  I found that fftw failed make check, so I recompiled.  Probably
had some incompatible options.  Now it passes make check.  I also added
the file local.conf as indicated above.  I now get libfft3 in the output
list.  I am recompiling octave now.  Hopefully everything will pass.
