Was the gui also configured to install in /usr/local?
The --with-dvdcontrol option should the the install prefix so 
--with-dvdcontrol=/usr/local (if ogle is installed as /usr/local/bin/ogle).

If this doesn't work you'll have too lookin in the config.log file to
see the reason why it fails to link the test app to libdvdcontrol.
If you have problem determining what or why from that, email me the
log privately and I'll take a look.

Missing support for x86_64 in the configure.in file, is fixed in CVS.
Is the host tripple amd64 by the way?  I think we added x86_64 only.
