I'm the one who was talking about the build/copy. You could manually copy a bunch of .so, but there's a reasonable chance you wouldn't need to - in many Linux systems, you have the binary packages for heaps of things that you don't have the dev libraries (headers, .a files, whatever) for. At work, we have just one computer on which we build from C source (which happens to be my personal dev unit as well); all the other computers - other devs' laptops, staging servers, production servers - just get binaries deployed directly. There aren't very many libraries to install on them, as they're fully-functional Linux boxes already (we use Debian). It may, of course, be different on your setup, but I figured it was worth a try.
