Well if you're starting off with an existing binary or a refrence application youre building upon you can run a >readelf -d binary - this will give you the dynamic section of that binary or in other words which dynamic libraries that binary "Expects" to be present to fulfill the symbols you're looking for. This can also be run on a .so(shared object/library) or anything elf (no legolas doesn't count).
If you don't have a binary - my weapon of choice is google you can supply it with the desired symbol(function) name and it usually puts you in something relevent library itself or docs or somebodys post in a forum bitchin why he can't compile because of that missing symbol and somebody reffering him to the correct library.
