Libraries, both static and dynamic, are usually in /lib, /usr/lib, and
/usr/local/lib . After adding or removing one, be sure to run a program
called  ldconfig  which will help gcc find your new library.

Yes, the libvga.so.1.4.2 in ../sharedlib is uninstalled.

Better still, edit this file:

   /etc/ld.so.conf

to include every location that a library might be found on your system.
(Two directories may be left out: /lib and /usr/lib, as they are assumed).

Then run ldconfig.
