look if you have /usr/local/lib configured in your /etc/ld.so.conf here
how mine looks like.

bash-2.05$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf 
# Begin /etc/ld.so.conf
/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/mysql/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
# End /etc/ld.so.conf
bash-2.05$ 

after this everything should find the libraries correctly no need to
link any stuff.

sometimes, when you install or compile new libraries you need to enter

'ldconfig'

as root in the shell to update the configuration of recognized libraries
