First of all, are you really sure you want to install them in /usr/local
instead of /usr ?
Installing them in /usr/local makes it possible to be totally confused:
if the distro installs fluidsynth (or any other program for that
matter), it will install it under /usr/. If you already have that
program (or install on top of the distro package) in /usr/local you will
be royally confused in which program is being ran.

/etc/ld.so.conf should include /usr/local/lib. If it doesn't add it
there and run ldconfig (both operations need to be done as root).
But is stress, at least i wouldn't go this route. It's much simpler to
keep only one installation of each software.
