This is a problem with the way libtool handles shared libraries- there isn't
a 'hard' link to the library path in the application, so you have to use
libtool to install it.  The cgicc-3.x/demo/README file has a paragraph about
using libtool:

A Note on libtool
=================

Since cgicc uses libtool to generate the libraries and link against
them, depending on your configuration you may need to use libtool to
copy the applications due to the way runtime search paths are
embedded.  If you are unable to run the applications from the /cgi-bin
directory, use libtool to re-copy them.  From the cgicc/demo
directory, run
  % sh ../libtool --mode=install cp *.cgi cgi-bin/
replacing cgi-bin/ with your webservers cgi-bin directory.

Let me know if this helps.
