After make install you have to configure the dynamic linker to find the newly install libraries at run-time. Look under /etc/ld.so.conf.d/, there are all kind of *.conf files there which contain lists of directories where the dynamic linker looks for libraries. Your libraries are probably in /usr/local/lib (check it) so you have to create a *.conf file or add a line to one of the existing files if your directory isn't already listed anywhere. Then you have to run the command 'sudo /sbin/ldconfig' to update the dynamic linker's cache and your app should work.

in my case 'sudo /sbin/ldconfig' worked

As mentioned in title I just ran
sudo /sbin/ldconfig

Thank You Udi.
