You have to run make install to get them to install into /usr/local/lib.

BTW, if you're building libraries for your application, it's probably best to pick a different directory than /usr/local, since it's a common dumping ground. Choose something like /opt/my_company_name/product_name.

Also, you could build with MacPorts into /opt/my_company_name/product_name and then have it provide all the .a's.
