DO not put anything you've built in any of the system libraries
(/usr/lib, etc) unless you package your code as RPM for deployment.
Libraries you compile for your own use would normally be put in a lib
directory somewhere under your own home directory, perhaps under your
project directory, and they should be referenced in your make file.
.a, .o libraries that are in, say, $HOME/lib, can be referenced by
-L$HOME/lib ... if these are .so libraries, if you specify the path to
your /lib/ directory in the --rpath option to ld (the gnu linker) or
-Wl,--rpath= when you use gcc++ to link for you, then at runtime it will
look for the .so files in that path.
if the programs you're compiling will be installed under /usr/local for
system-wide use, then the required shared libraries should also be
installed under /usr/local/something and that path should be passed to
--rpath
