Unable to link to library version of my choice

Hi,
I built gtk locally on my computer and the build went fine, but when I wrote a small test program and tried to link it to the library that I built, it compiled fine, but behind the scenes, it actually linked to the file in /usr/lib.
I've tried everything, -L option, compiling with the full path of the library file and even googling for the answer. I see that others have had the same problem but there are no satisfactory responses. I tried -nostdlib option with gcc but then it started complaining about other libraries.
How do I force it to link to my version of the gtk library file?
thanks,
~~marco
