I don't think "Didn’t find shared library" is the precise output (and that
does not help diagnosis here) and I'm not sure that you are running the
correct 'extract' binary.  What do you get if you type

$ which extract

and

$ extract -v

Also, try this (and exactly this, and please report the exact output, not your
interpretation thereof):

$ ldd -r /usr/local/lib/libextractor/libextractor_pdf.so
$ export LIBEXTRACTOR_PREFIX=/usr/local
$ /usr/local/bin/extract dmca.pdf
$ /usr/bin/extract -v
$ /usr/local/bin/extract -v
$ ls -al /usr/local/lib/libextractor.so

Thanks!
