Subject: [ruby-talk:9367] Compilation trouble - How to tell ruby to look for libraries in /	opt/gnu/lib when gcc doesn't search there by default?

Newbie requires help.

When I compile ruby, ruby cannot find the optional libraries (stored in
/opt/gnu/lib, which is not in the default library search path of my gcc
installation) and thus doesn't generate correct Makefiles in ext (e.g.
curses, db, readline, ...). 

I tried to build it with ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnu/lib --enable-shared.

I bet it is an option that has to be passed to ./configure - am I wrong?
