Either put /usr/local/syslog-ng/lib/ into the env variable
LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running or into /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig.

I recommend the first one:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/syslog-ng/lib/ /usr/local/syslog-ng/sbin/syslog-ng <opts>

for testing and putting the following lines to the beginnning of init
script, to let it work properly:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/syslog-ng/lib/ 
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
