libs are not found (LD_LIBRARY_PATH)

[markus schnalke <meillo%marmaro.de@localhost>]

Hoi,

if I compile programs by hand, then I get errors like:

        Shared object "libX11.so.6" not found

I can solve this by exporting LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib, but this
is no clean solution.

Following is some example output of `ldd' for a program compiled by
hand:

        $ ldd /usr/local/bin/dmenu
        /usr/local/bin/dmenu:
                -lc.12 => /usr/lib/libc.so.12
                -lX11.6 => not found
                -lXinerama.1 => not found

Surprisingly (for me), this is no issue when I compile in pkgsrc. The
same program (in a slightly different version):

        $ ldd /usr/pkgsrc/x11/dmenu/work/dmenu-3.9/dmenu
        /usr/pkgsrc/x11/dmenu/work/dmenu-3.9/dmenu:
                -lc.12 => /usr/lib/libc.so.12
                -lX11.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
                -lXext.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6
                -lXinerama.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXinerama.so.1

Both commands were run right after each other from the same shell,
hence the library path seems to be compiled in.

How can I solve this?
