Did you run ldconfig after putting the library in /usr/local/lib?
(If you run "ldconfig -v", you can see if it gets picked up.)

Those kinds of things are (often) hard-coded into the binary.  You
might just be better off building with a prefix of /opt/xfce3 (usually
you'd do something like "./configure --prefix=/opt/xfce3") and just
installing the software.  That way, if/when you want to remove it, you
can just "rm -rf /opt/xfce3".

The environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH is probably what you are
looking for.
