Please spent some more time with the docs.

lib_LTLIBRARIES is a list of shared libraries that you are building
and installing.  You are unlikely to be building and installing what
I'm assuming are matlab libraries; you want to _use_ them.

There are _many_ Makefile.am's in the source tree.  Please consider
looking at them for inspiration.

Also, please spend some time reading this:

It's got many tips on ways to effectively get help on this list.
