need libmad, won't shut up

Using SuSE 8.2, following a kernel upgrade to deal with usb problems, I found 
lots of new ones. One was that ogle .8-something now died with a can't open 
it's OSS drivers message. All the stuff on the web said this was because 
there was some other audio thing going. Not in my case. I thought, aha, 
perhaps they've solved this one in a later version. Found an rpm that SuSE 
would accept (complied the previous version) and of libdvdread. Same problem. 
Aha, I thought, let's compile the newest version, the compiler might sort 
things out. Unfortunately... I can tell ogle ./configure 
--with-libmad=/usr/lib until my fingers whither at the keyboard and fall off, 
but it won't believe that libmad.so.0 is actually in /usr/lib. It keeps 
telling me "configure: error: Need libmad, install it or specify it's 
location." 

Any suggestions?
