I assume you realize that nothing happens when you register a function
with CREATE FUNCTION. It simply sets the path to your object.

At this point, it attempts to actually use the object. You will get this
error in two situations:
1. When the path is incorrect, i. e., there is no such file
2. The file exists but it does not contain a shared object
Based on your description, I think you are dealing with the cause (2).
Look into
..../pgsql/src/tutorial/Makefile
for ideas how to build a shared object on your system.
