You probably have installed redland somewhere such that the shared
libraries are not in your default search path (usually /usr/lib).

The output of raptor-config --libs containing a '-L' line that
is not /usr/lib would indiate this.

Assuming this is linux: man ld.so and read about LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and check you have run 'ldconfig' as root, then try:

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/wherever/lib ./rdfprint raptor.rdf
