That means your library is in /usr/local/lib

You can see what libraries the program is dynamically linked to with
ldd sample
It could well be that it cannot find /usr/local/lib/libvga.so.1.4.2 at
this stage either. If that is the case, add
/usr/local/lib
(a line in the file) to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig.
For children's programming, maybe svgalib+C (and root!) is too
heavyweight. You could also e.g. look at python+tkinter and its turtle
module. But of course this depends on the child.
I hope this helps,
Bart
