Hello Dave,

Sometimes simply knowing where to look can solve problems ... sounds
like you have most of the install part down.  Take a look @
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-Building-HOWTO-7.html
Particularaly the area talking about editing the makefile to point to
cnon standard library locations.

In addition here are a few commands that may be of assistance to you:

// updates the database of files on the machine for searching

updatedb

//general search
// find [location] [commands]
// \* is a wildcard
// following finds all files that start with foo and end with recursively from root

find / foo\*bar

// to find running processes

ps

// to kill a proccess
// you get the # of the process from ps

kill #

// to see if a particular process is running (httpd in this example)
ps ax | grep httpd

// if you want to see a programs dependencies (ssh in this example)
ldd ssh

Hope some of that helps.
