That is strange since it should choose zinf.ui over cmdline.ui.
Try 
  $ /usr/local/bin/zinf -ui zinf.ui

Try
  ldd /usr/local/bin/zinf
to see where it's picking up the shared libs from.
I suspect they are installed in /usr/local/lib but
you've forgotten to add that directory to you shared library
loader search path.  Look at /etc/ld.so.conf  and check
that the directory where you install libid3 and libmusicbrainz.
is in there.  If not, then add the directory and run ldconfig
