^^^^ The directory to where you seem to have installed additional
libraries is already there. To be clear: you do not need LIBDIR in
there! In the error message you got LIBDIR was ment as a variable to be
replaced by the location where additional libraries are to be found,
which are not in standard search path for libs and not already listed in
/etc/ld.so.conf. With you entry libs in /usr/local/lib are to be found
as long you did run ldconfig.

See above.

Good!

Sorry if I confused you. I hope it is now clear. You specified your
additional libraries directory which was claimed by the build process as
"LIBDIR" in the /etc/ld.so.config and did run ldconfig. So it is set
global. For additional info see "man ldconfig".
