yes libs can be a problem
I sympathise, installing libraries needed to build an app can be a real headache.

some bits of advice to help you persevere

A common mistake is to install as root and then try compiling as a lower user. The components you want may not be readable. Check permissions and make sure all are world readable.

If you can get RPMs these make life very easy.

Use find to make sure all the libs are where they should be.

Lastly, dont be scared to look at the makefiles. These contain fairly obvious entries like

$foolibpath = /usr/lib/foo

which indicate to you where the script is expecting to find certain libraries.

Ocassionally makefiles for different systems (BSD, SysV, RedHat etc) mean you need to edit the makefile a bit to point it in the right direction.

yum-builddep

yum-builddep(1) 														   yum-builddep(1)

NAME

       yum-builddep - install missing dependencies for building an RPM package

SYNOPSIS

       yum-builddep package

DESCRIPTION

       yum-builddep  is a program which installs the RPMs needed to build the specified package.  The source RPM for the specified package must be
       available in a Yum repository (which will be automatically enabled, if it is disabled) or it can be a local source RPM file.

EXAMPLES

       Download and install all the RPMs needed to build the kernel RPM:
	      yum-builddep kernel

FILES

       As yum-builddep uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its  default  values  like  which
       repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/

SEE ALSO

       yum.conf (5)
       http://yum.baseurl.org/

AUTHORS

       See the Authors file included with this program.

BUGS

       There  are  of  course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if
       unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org.  To file a bug  use	http://bugzilla.redhat.com
       for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
