I've had so many issues with shared libs on linux in the past, I gave up on it and started to include all the necessary source of any third party library in my projects. Makes building and distributing things much easier.

In other language build environments it's called vendorising and Ruby, Go, and Rust offer tooling to do this for the various benefits (hermetic builds, dealing with down infra, not molesting third party source control, not leaking information about your dependencies to third parties).
