Some options: 1. When compiling yourself on a Debian based system use checkinstall where possible. This creates a local deb file and installs via the package manager. 2.In you particular case /usr/local/lib just isn't in the normal path. You can either add it to the path via a command line statement or using the ldconfig system, OR you can specifiy directories to be included in the ffmpeg build process. It's usually something like --include=/usr/local/lib/ but check the docs of configure and the ffmpeg package.
