I don't think this is Ilyes' problem. The loader finds the fftw,
otherwise it would complain. The problem seems to be that
the operating system does not find the shared libraries for
fftw in the list of allowed shared libraries. There should be
two ways to fix this (on a Linux machine):
- add "/usr/local/lib" to file /etc/ld.so.conf, then run "ldconfig"
  (must be done as root)
- add "/usr/local/lib" to variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
  (use "setenv" or "export" depending on the shell used)
