The libsmjs.so file is probably contained in a library package.

Ok, I don't have access to a new enough system to tell (hate not having my
PC here), but you can find it by doing:
dpkg --search /usr/lib/libsmjs.so
Whichever lib package it's in, it probably has an associated lib*-dev
package. If it's not installed, try installing it and seeing if you get any
further with your compilation.
Failing that, you might want to try linking your lib to /usr/local/lib
instead of /usr/lib and making sure that /usr/local/lib is in
/etc/ld.so.conf. This *shouldn't* break your other program, but you might
have fun when you go to compile it next time.
good luck,
Geoff.
