If you want to have "extra" library directories you can add lines to
/etc/ld.so.conf, and then run ldconfig (as root of course).  That adds (or
subtracts) to the directories the system searches when looking for libraries, 
and lets you keep things seperate without creating a maze of file system links. 
The enviroment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH can also be set and used to add library
search paths to the subsequent applications, which is very handy if for some
reason you want certain applications to use diffrent libraries, or you have
libraries needed by something but you don't want other applications to find
them.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/gnucash:/usr/lib/foo"
