chances are it installed to a place not listed in /etc/ld.so.conf. Is it
.so files it's looking for? .h files? what are the errors? It's pretty
tough to help without those.

Making a guess, you probably built it and installed it to /usr/local
prefix. If you're trying to compile stuff that wants to link against the
shared object files ( libavifile.so or some such ) figure out where that
file is, and make sure the diretory it's in is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf
and run "ldconfig" as root. Then try to compile the app again. If this
don't help send us the error messages.
