Do you know about ldconfig and all that? "Just linking" to a shared library
is usually not enough.
If all that is way too confusing, then don't build a library but rather
including all src/*.o directly into your package library -- R knows how to
find that.

Of course. For example RcppGSL has done it for years. Here GSL is assumed to
be a standard system library (but gsl-config --libs is queried to get the -L
argument).
There are now 130 packages on CRAN that deploy Rcpp. Maybe you can find one
that suits your setup.

Had a busy day at work or else I would have replied earlier.
