libqgis_core.so and libqgis_gui.so must reside also in src/core/ resp.
src/gui/ subdirectory from where you build. I don't understand why
it's not there in your case... I build always to my home directory so
there shouldn't be any difference. Can you check from where are the
qgis_core and qgis_gui libraries copied on make install?
