Not familiar with 3dpm. But, if it has a configure script, try doing
'./configure --help' to see if it has an option to not use mesa or to set
the path to the library.
Barring that, looking at the Makefile or config.h may provide info on where
it's looking for the library. A change to the line or a symlink for the
file to where it wants to find it may solve the problem.
If that doesn't work, just try symlinking the library to /usr/lib to see if
that helps.
I'm outta ideas for now.
