You can simply run this command :
$ ldconfig -v | grep 'your_library_name'
The output will tell whether your library is installed or not. You can use
wildcards to grep the library in case you dont know the exact name of
library.
one tip :
In case you are using Debian based distro and you already installed the
required package which contains the library required for your application to
run using 'apt-get install' command. You can simply find the installed path
of all the files contained in that package by running-
$dpkg -L pkg_name
It will list absolute path of all the files installed by that pkg.
