That's wrong: "bin" is for binaries only, libraries go into "lib" and
include files into "include".

If you configured id3lib without a --prefix, it should have gone into
the right place under /usr/local. Check if you have
/usr/local/lib/libid3* and /usr/local/include/id3*.

If you never installed a something for yourself on that machine, it's
possible that you are missing a line with "/usr/local/lib" (without the
quotes) in /etc/ld.so.conf. Add that line, then run ldconfig.
