That's your problem - this should be using /usr/local/lib/libxapian.so.15

For most paths, libtool would set an rpath, but /usr/local/lib is in the
default ld.so search path, so it doesn't.  So building with --prefix=/opt
or something like that would work.

You can also set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /usr/local/lib before running
xapian-compact, etc.

Yes, that's probably the simplest fix.
