console
// /usr/local/include
> sudo ln -s /usr/local/zlib/1_2_11/include/zconf.h /usr/local/include/
> sudo ln -s /usr/local/zlib/1_2_11/include/zlib.h /usr/local/include/

// /usr/local/lib
> sudo ln -s /usr/local/zlib/1_2_11/lib/libz.a /usr/local/lib/
> sudo ln -s /usr/local/zlib/1_2_11/lib/libz.so /usr/local/lib/
> sudo ln -s /usr/local/zlib/1_2_11/lib/libz.so.1 /usr/local/lib/
> sudo ln -s /usr/local/zlib/1_2_11/lib/libz.so.1.2.11 /usr/local/lib/

// /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
> sudo ln -s /usr/local/zlib/1_2_11/lib/pkgconfig/zlib.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/

Set Environment Variable

Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH variables is useful when building or executing other sources.

When copying or creating a symbolic link the library installed under /usr/local, it is recommended to set it.

console
> vim ~/.bash_profile

* For CentOS / Ubuntu

.bash_profile
...
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
...

If you want to load shared libraries in the system, create a file which is wrote "/usr/local/lib" under /etc/ld.so.conf.d.

console
> sudo echo /usr/local/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/usr_local_lib.conf
> sudo ldconfig
> sudo ldconfig -v
