meep links but mpb fails linking to local libraries

I am trying to install meep and mpb on a machine where I do not have admin 
privileges.  The machine has a 64 version of redhat enterprise.  I have been 
successful in installing meep.  I cannot get mpb to compile correctly.  I use 
the same process for installing both.  Namely the following commands are run 
inside a bash script


tar -xvzf mpb-1.4.2.tar.gz


cd "./mpb-1.4.2"
export LDFLAGS="-L/$HOME/install/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/$HOME/install/include -DH5_USE_16_API=1"
export PATH="$HOME/install/bin:$PATH"
./configure --prefix=$HOME/install --with-libctl="$HOME/install/share/libctl"
make 
make install
make check
cd ..


The only difference is the inclusion of -DH5_USE_16_API=1 in CPPFLAGS for the 
mpb case.  Yet mpb is not linking properly with any libraries that I have in my 
local directory.  Meep on the other hand has no problem locating those same 
libraries.  (See results of ldd below)  I have included a link to my config.log 
file stored on pastebin.com http://pastebin.com/03hybaXY .  From what I can 
tell, configure is locating all of the necessary files.  I do not know why this 
is not working.  Any suggestions.
