Wow I forgot this is a 32 bit install. I used this image for a friends 32 bit comp and when I didn't realize when I installed it ._. I was using the 64bit SFML. Sorry for wasting your time, thanks for the help.
If I statically link it (proper terminology?) I get this in the build logs:
g++ -L/home/odori/SFML-2.1/lib -o bin/Debug/theMoonRisingSMFL obj/Debug/main.o /home/odori/SFML-2.1/lib/libsfml-system.so
