This is a runtime library.  You need a devel library -- either the archive 
(libpopt.a) or shared lib (libpopt.so).  The *.so libs are usually contained in 
a companion <pkg-name>-devel package, although I don't know how Ubuntu packages 
things.  NOTE:  the *.so files are typically symlinks to the runtime library.

I added Richard Purdie to the "To" list.  If you have further issues 
building/running on ARM, he's the guy who can help.
