The above is an excellent workaround.  If you want to debug farther:

nm /usr/local/lib/libdaq_static.a | grep daq_load_modules

and send the output.  I'm guessing that you will see something like:

00000000000005ab T daq_load_modules

Which means the symbol is there but isn't being found by configure's test
program.

Let me know.
