Okay, I picked up the tip from you folks about crle (or was it you
folks and the fixsolaris...). Anyway, I've discovered that adding
/usr/local/lib via crle is a nice trick to allow programs to find
their shared libraries, but that doesn't work for ld when MAKING
the shared libraries apparently... Ugh.
I discovered this when attempting to compile imlib and imlib2 under
Solaris 8. Now, are the imlib libraries brain damaged for not
including a '-L/usr/local/lib' or is Sun kindof brain damaged for
providing crle that ld ingnores? Or is there some other neat
trick that I haven't picked up on?
And actually, exporting LD_LIBRARY_PATH didn't work for compiling
the library... I had to edit the makefiles (which is silly when
using an autoconf-based package)
