Just as I thought from the locate you pasted in the private email to
me.  You're missing a symlink to make your libax25 library be simply
"libax25.so" - without this, gcc can't find the library to link to. 
Try this:

ln -s libax25.so.0 /usr/lib/libax25.so

You might also need to do that with other libraries in the libax25
package, and if you used the debian package to install libax25, PLEASE
report this to them!
