Comment (by ftrovato):

 Hi Ryan,

 your advice on using -lmlpack solved the problem and I was able to run the
 test .cpp program. As a side question, which might be helpful for me and
 also for others, why -lmlpack option worked, while explicitly indicating
 the linker path with -L/path/to/mlpack/build/lib/ did not?

 I found libmlpack.so also in /usr/local/lib/ and so I will set
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/ as you suggested. I think it is more
 convenient if the other path changes.
 Initially I searched for libmlpack.so with ldconfig -p | grep libmlpack
 but did not get any results. I apologize if this is a stupid question, but
 how can I make ldconfig aware of the existence of /usr/local/lib/ ?

 So far, the command that worked to compile the .cpp program was:

  g++ -I/usr/include/libxml2/ mlapack_test.cpp -lmlpack

 Thank you for your help,
 Fabio
