Run ldconfig as root, it should find it then.

Using strace i get:
open("/usr/lib64/libboblight.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)

However the file is located here: /usr/local/lib/libboblight.so

Creating a symlink makes it work:
hurra src # ln -s /usr/local/lib/libboblight.so /usr/lib64/libboblight.so

Is the buildsystem broken, or what am i doing wrong?

I think you need to add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig as 
root again.
/usr/local/lib is the default path to install local libraries as mandated by the
filesystem hierarchy standard.
I'm passing "libboblight.so" to dlopen, it's up to the system to find the 
library.
