You can set the -rpath and -rpath-link options when you build your
application to tell the runtime linker where to look for .so files
first. If you can control where your application is placed, then you
simply need to set the -rpath to wherever you drop the special .so (e.g.
-Wl,rpath,/opt/blah/foolibs/ -Wl,rpath-link,/opt/blah/foolibs )

If you can't control the absolute path, then you can use $ORIGIN within
the -rpath to denote a relative path. (just take care escaping it in any
Makefiles...)

You can use ldd on the built application to inspect where it will look
for all the shared libraries.

Hope that helps.
