If it is the libraries not being found then add
'-L/usr/lib' (or path to these libraries) to your gcc cmd, unless you
already do that.
I would do the following if shared libraries are not being found at
runtime:
'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path to libraries>'
Dunno offhand if ld.so.conf is for the linker at compile time or for the
runtime loader to find libraries at runtime - anyone?
Other than that the output from your make or gcc command would help.
