That may solve your problem on your local PC but I fear that you get the same 
problem if you copy your test binary application to another PC. The problem 
is that there's still referencing something the /usr/local/lib/ instead 
of /usr/lib/ - maybe you will find out later what it is. If you build 
the .deb package on another PC (not using "make install" before) and compile 
the test it will work for sure.

You don't need the OpenDBX library or the headers compiled or installed to 
build the .deb packages as they are generated from the source .tar.gz. For 
your required database backend you need the header files and client library 
for this database - you don't need the server package. You can give the 
generated .deb packages to another user who's using the same distribution and 
version. He only needs the database client library in addition (not the 
headers and not the server).

No, you don't need the Oracle server on PC2 but you need the Oracle client 
library on PC2 for the communication between PC2 and the Oracle server on 
PC1.

Here the software stack on PC2 and how they depend on (Oracle as example):

Your Application
-------------------------
OpenDBX library
-------------------------
OpenDBX oracle backend
-------------------------
Oracle client library
