Of course, the library file could also be installed straight into
/usr/lib. Why is it in a sub-directory to begin with?

Title:
  ld can't find liblpsolve55.so; compilation error

Status in lp-solve package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  the dynamic lib liblpsolve55.so comes with the package `lp-solve`
  installed to /usr/lib/lp_solve/liblpsolve55.so .

  when compiling a programm to link against liblpsolve55.so, ld cannot find the library.
  So, either
  1) please add /usr/lib/lp_solve/ to the ld library path
  or
  2) let the package lp-solve contain a symlink to the library:
  /usr/lib$ ls -ali liblpsolve55.so 
  11284987 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Apr 16 16:46 liblpsolve55.so -> lp_solve/liblpsolve55.so
