Have you tried with any of the other libraries (libavcodec,
libavformat, etc.)? If you make a tiny sample program that depends on
one of them, can you properly link to it too?

The fact that it's not complaining about not finding swscale.h or
-lswscale implies that it is indeed finding them. Are you sure the
libs and your program are both built for the same architecture (32/64
bit)?

Also, what's your ldconfig command?
