Check the config.log file for the actual error messages. If a
configure script says that it cannot "find" a library, what it
actually means is that it couldn't link a test program which uses that
library. There are plenty of reasons why the link can fail apart from
the library file not being in the correct place.

This won't have any effect. ld.so.conf/ldconfig only control how the
loader finds libraries at run-time. They don't have any effect upon
build-time linking.
