cannot find libarary error












0














I am trying to install a software "W" which requires some non standard packages like "XYZ". I am installing XYZ as instructed in the related site using the following commands



./configure -C
make
make install


after installation of XYZ, I use the following commands to install W (as suggested in the related site):



env PKG_CONFIG_PATH="installation path for XYZ/lib/pkgconfig" cmake 
make


however I get usr/bin/ld cannot find -lXYZ.

I have also tried the following, which returned the same results:



export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="installation path for XYZ/lib"


when I am checking the library list associated with LD_LIBRARY_PATH I see something like the following results:



................. libXYZ.la
................. libXYZ.so -> libXYZ.so.1.5.3
................. libXYZ.so.1 -> libXYZ.so.1.5.3
................. libXYZ.so.1.5.3
................. pkgconfig


where ....... are some info like date and other things

Does this problem is caused due to the version number of libraries or what? how can i solve it?
