Native libraries .so.XY failing to link at runtime

What you need to do is edit the configure file. And find out this:

SLIBNAME='$(SLIBPREF)$(FULLNAME)$(SLIBSUF)'
SLIBNAME_WITH_VERSION='$(SLIBNAME).$(LIBVERSION)'
SLIBNAME_WITH_MAJOR='$(SLIBNAME).$(LIBMAJOR)'
LIB_INSTALL_EXTRA_CMD='$$(RANLIB) "$(LIBDIR)/$(LIBNAME)"'
SLIB_INSTALL_NAME='$(SLIBNAME_WITH_VERSION)'
SLIB_INSTALL_LINKS='$(SLIBNAME_WITH_MAJOR) $(SLIBNAME)'

Modified them to be:

SLIBNAME='$(SLIBPREF)$(FULLNAME)$(SLIBSUF)'
SLIBNAME_WITH_VERSION='$(SLIBNAME)'
SLIBNAME_WITH_MAJOR='$(SLIBNAME)'
LIB_INSTALL_EXTRA_CMD='$$(RANLIB) "$(LIBDIR)/$(LIBNAME)"'
SLIB_INSTALL_NAME='$(SLIBNAME_WITH_MAJOR)'
SLIB_INSTALL_LINKS=''

or Modified them to be:

SLIBNAME='$(SLIBPREF)$(FULLNAME)$(SLIBSUF)'
SLIBNAME_WITH_VERSION='$(SLIBNAME).$(LIBVERSION)'
SLIBNAME_WITH_MAJOR='$(SLIBPREF)$(FULLNAME)-$(LIBMAJOR)$(SLIBSUF)'

LIB_INSTALL_EXTRA_CMD='$$(RANLIB) "$(LIBDIR)/$(LIBNAME)"'

SLIB_INSTALL_NAME='$(SLIBNAME_WITH_MAJOR)'
SLIB_INSTALL_LINKS='$(SLIBNAME)'
