title: QtCreator can't find lastfm library file liblastfm.so.1 on Linux
body: <p>I'm doing a project in C++ for school in which I decided to use LastFM's library (<a href="https://github.com/lastfm/liblastfm" rel="nofollow" title="link to library's github repo">github repo</a>). I followed the instructions and installed it and all the dependencies but when I put <code>LIBS += -llastfm</code> in the <em>.pro</em> file in Qt as stated in the <em>'Using liblastfm'</em> section from the repo, I get the error "File liblastfm.so.1 could not be found".</p>
  
  <p>I went to the library's folder in '/usr/include' (as far as I remember) and found three files:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>liblastfm.so</li>
  <li>liblastfm.so.1</li>
  <li>liblastfm.so.1.0.8</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>These files were organized as following: <em>liblastfm.so</em> was a link to <em>liblastfm.so.1</em> and <em>liblastfm.so.1</em> was a link to <em>liblastfm.so.1.0.8</em> which was, in fact, the library file. I'm assuming they did this for easy maintenance when it comes to updates but as far as I could tell QtCreator doesn't know how the follow the link since it's finding the <em>liblastfm.so</em> but can't reach <em>liblastfm.so.1</em>.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to delete the <em>.so</em> and <em>.so.1</em> files and then rename the <em>.so.1.0.8</em> file into just <em>liblastfm.so</em> but it still said that it can't find the <em>.so.1</em> file, which was kinda' confusing.</p>
  
  <p>I also tried addid the library manually by right clicking the project and select "Add library" but when I reached the liblastfm's folder, only the <em>liblastfm.so</em> file was recognized as a library file and if I added it, the same error occured.</p>
  
  <p>So, any help would be appreciated!</p>
