Did you edit the /etc/ld.so.conf file, adding the directory where
the libshp.a and libshp.so files are installed.  In my case, I think
I needed to add either /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib to the file.

After that, run "ldconfig", which will create ld.so.cache, then
retry the compile of that test program.
