Just put your static libraries on the compile line 
of your own program just like you would put an 
object file there:
$ gcc main.cpp -o main -g -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS 
/path/to/libavformat.a /path/to/libavcodec.a ...

The above also fixes this problem, the alternative is 
to fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
