Fine when running or compiling?

Unix libraries often have names like

libbasename.so.x.y (or libbasename.a.x.y for static libs)  which ready made
programs are linked against, while compilers search for libbasename.so (or
libbasename.a). 

You probably need to create the symlink. (on Linux such symlinks are in the
-devel package together with the headers)
