Read the section "Shared Libraries" in the "Using the Libarry" chapter
of the manual. In addition to the solution based in the environment
variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH you can also:

 1. Add a line pointing to the directory containing the libraries in
   the /etc/ld.so.conf file.

 2. Move the libraries to a standard lib path (e.g. /usr/local/lib).

 3. Use the -rpath argument to the the linker (something like:
    -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/library in the gcc link step).

The two first suggestions require root access.
