This mean it cannot find libpari-2.2.dylib, but there are none in
/usr/local/lib so it fails.

I have made a wrong assumption on how configure work, so the symlinks are
wrong.  Please add a symlink:

ln -s libpari-2.2.2.dylib /usr/local/lib/libpari-2.2.dylib

This should fix the problem, if we are lucky.

Now I would really happy if someone (Ilya?) would split Configure
in small parts and remove the kludges.

I do not know how to add the soversion *before* the dylib suffix with 
configure.

Also if you need the static library, please run ranlib on it.

Cheers,
Bill.
