Under normal curcumstancies its not so important as to where the libs
are situated, its a question of the system knowing where they are,
there are several ways of doing this,. For example in the systems
/etc/profile or bash_profile depending on what distro is in use you
can define lib paths in those files, another way would be to change
paths in the Makefiles for programs needing those libs, putting the
directory path in /etc/ld.do.conf and rerunning ldconfig, there are
many ways.
Its not what you do but HOW you do it.
Realy the best way is to read the documentation in the to be made
program first and understanding what the program expects to find and
where it wants to look. You may have noticed that many programs say
"ajust the Makefile accordingly" to point it to the correct lib paths.
