/usr/local/lib/libfftw.a: is where a 32-bit static library is placed. 
This looks like a 64-bit system, in which case you need a dynamic library, 
/usr/local/lib64/libfftw.so.

This is nothing to do with your subject line (what did 'downloading' have 
to do with this?), but reflects a problem with a local software install on 
your machine.  Only you can explain how fftw2 got installed as it did.
