great ! This is exactly my case:

17:48:03[megera_at_maze]~/app/runet/devil>ldd a.out
a.out:
        libcurl.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.2 (0x68065000)
        libc_r.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc_r.so.4 (0x68086000)
        libssl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.2 (0x68139000)
        libcrypto.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.2 (0x68165000)
        libc.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc.so.4 (0x6821c000)
