You have modified the makefile to install into the prefix /usr/local,
but /usr/local/lib is often not included in the default library search
path; this may be the cause of your problem.  If so, you can either add
/usr/local/lib to the default search path by editting /etc/ld.so.conf,
or you can install into the prefix /usr which will put the libraries in
/usr/lib.

Also, as Anthony pointed out, keep in mind that xenstat will not be an
officially supported public interface in Xen 3.0.  It may become such an
interface in the unstable tree after 3.0 is released.  However, don't
let that stop you from making use of it, and feel free to ask if you
need any additional assistance.
