You sure you installed libesmtp-devel? libesmtp.so is provided by it.

% rpm -qa libesmtp\*
libesmtp-1.0.1-1

% gcc -lesmtp
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lesmtp
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

% sudo rpm -ivh libesmtp-devel-1.0.1-1.i386.rpm

% rpm -qa libesmtp\*
libesmtp-1.0.1-1
libesmtp-devel-1.0.1-1
