Is /usr/local/lib listed in /etc/ld.so.conf ?   If it isnt, add that line
to that file (the format is one directory to each line), and run
"ldconfig"  to have it re-read the directories.

The (more-or-less) traditional place for libvga/libvgagl is in /lib. If
the above doesnt work -- then try moving svgalib shared libs (and their
links) to /lib (and ldconfig again).
