Find the headers/libraries it is looking for. Often, and in fact today, 
I had the same error about a library although not found, but the library 
installed is newer. Installed the older library and it worked. I would 
not pay to much attention to the ">=" when sometimes it means "=". Also 
sometimes it is necessary to run ldconfig and make sure it has the those 
libraries in its path.
