I take it you built GLPK as a dynamic link library.

You may need to update the runtime linker cache
(but confirm the exact command before you use it,
particularly as you may not have superuser
privileges):

  $ sudo ldconfig --verbose

Are you using a suitably structured makefile -- or
something equivalent:

That certainly makes faultfinding easier.
