Thanks...

Well, adding /usr/local/lib to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH does the trick,
but I really don't want to leave that permanent. Plus,
it is an option that only works for me and not site wide.

So, I want to do option (2). Is there a way to setup the
config to add the -R option and ld path? I checked
out ./configure --help and didn't see anything that
would help.
I have also looked at the Makefile, but am not sure what
I would change that would not break everything else.

Thanks
