After some helpful feedback from jrollins and amdragon on IRC, I have
pushed an updated version of this. The guts of the updated test are as
follows:

run_test(){
    result=$(LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../lib ./symbol-test 2>&1)
}

output="A Xapian exception occurred opening database: Couldn't stat 'fakedb/.notmuch/xapian'
caught No chert database found at path \`./nonexistant'"

g++ -o symbol-test -I../../lib ../symbol-test.cc -L../../lib -lnotmuch -lxapian
mkdir -p fakedb/.notmuch
test_expect_success 'running test' run_test
test_begin_subtest 'checking output'
test_expect_equal "$result" "$output" 
test_done
