I do not use icu, so I don't even know if this is the app which you've
gotten or the lib. Let's assume that it's a lib.

Briefly put, you seem to need to set $LD_LIBRARY_PATH eg
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/icu/lib

IOW, you had specified the link-time path, not the runtime path. IIRC
use of '-R' instead of -- or in addition to -- '-L' may have helped.
Or using libtool, or ....
