configure: error: libEQ.a not found. Be sure libEQ.a is already installed in /usr/local/lib or /usr/lib.

As you can see above, I have the latest version of libEQ.a in /usr/local/lib, and a simlink to it in /usr/lib. I plan on deleteing the simlink once things get working. Can someone point me in a direction to get around this problem?

Thanks
