First, you're better off moving them over to someplace like
/usr/local/lib/<program> e.g., /usr/local/lib/gtk+. /usr/include is
for header files, not for libraries.

Once you do that, you can set ldconfig to look in /usr/local/lib by
adding it to /etc/ldso.conf, then rerunning ldconfig. /usr/local/lib
may already have an entry in that file.
