The same way that you tell it to look for any other libraries.

Either:

a) add the directory where the library resides to /etc/ld.so.conf
and run `ldconfig', or

b) add the directory where the library resides to the environment
variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH, e.g.

        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/gtk/lib

or whatever.
