If I understand shared libraries correctly the -L only helps find the
lib at link time.

Libtool --mode=finish gives a list of the possible ways of doing this.
The ones I remember are LD_LIBRARY_PATH (as you found), ld.so.conf (as
you suggested) and possibly some -rpath foo which I don't understand.

The symlinks help because it puts the lib in the default search path for
 the dynamic linker.

I know this probably doesn't help with a solution, but I hope it clears
up what is happening.
