This error means it cannot link with the picogui client library (libpgui)
that is default installed in /usr/local/lib.

Certainly that you haven't this path in your /etc/ld.so.conf file and then
the linker only seach in /lib and /usr/lib

Add it and then run as root :
# ldconfig

An other solution is adding it to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
But this is not permanent and only valid in the current shell.
