Have you followed the bit at
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-4.html#ss4.2 ?

Entering the following command should show you where it's looking for
libmythtv-0.20.so.0.

# ldconfig -p | grep libmythtv
libmythtv-0.20.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libmythtv-0.20.so.0

In your case it should return

# ldconfig -p | grep libmythtv
libmythtv-0.20.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/local/lib/libmythtv-0.20.so.0
