When you compile, -l<name> says, look in the library search paths for
lib<name>. The default paths are searched unless you use -L:
See the gcc man page for the -l and -L options. The Programming
Library HOWTO may also be a worthwhile read for you.

"Where it should be" is subjective. I prefer to use any distribution
package provided libraries where possible and install via their
package manager. When I put on my sysadmin hat it makes my life easier
to install and configure or uninstall the packaged non-LD_LIBRARY_PATH
program on one or more similar systems.
There are other choices. The next two I consider are /opt island and
/usr/local compile install. I dislike /usr compile install on a
package managed system.
If you get your compile flags right and then if you monkey with the
paths as you have you should be able to get it to work at runtime.
Best of luck,
