Update INSTALL.
Add a note about failing "make check". The source of the problem should be fixed in libtool (if it really is a libtool bug and not mine) but I'm unable to spend time on that for now. Thanks to Nelson H. F. Beebe for reporting the issue. Add a note about a possible need to run "ldconfig" after "make install".

+4.5. "make check" fails
+
+ A likely reason is that libtool links the test programs against
+ an installed version of liblzma instead of the version that was
+ just built. This is obviously a bug which seems to happen on
+ some platforms. A workaround is to uninstall the old liblzma
+ versions first.

+ If the problem isn't the one described above, then it's likely

+ If you installed the package with "make install" and get an error

+ operating system has such a command).
