Urgh. No.

No need to do broken things like symlinking libs. Two
possibilities:
/usr/local/lib
is not in your libpath. In that case /etc/ld.so.conf or in
more recent vesions of linux /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf is
your friend. Add the path to that file (one path per line)
and run
ldconfig -v
You need to be root for this, of course. Be careful what you
do as root. For editors you have THE editor available for
sure (ie. vi) or you have to fiddle around with (IMHO silly)
things like nano.
This should solve those problems once and for all system
wide. (Ie. the unix way.)
Alternatively, in case you want to fix it on per user level
(no really good idea for /usr/local/lib) you may
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_RUN_PATH
