With the ELF toolchain, you should pass an argument to the linker to
encode the path to where the runtime libs may be found. (There is no
system-wide path, as with a.out and ldconfig.) Assuming that the
shared libraries will be installed into /usr/local/lib, you may be
able to simply set "LDFLAGS=-Wl,-R/usr/local/lib" or
"LIBS=-Wl,-R/usr/local/lib" in the environment before running
"configure". Alternatively, you could set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib in the environment of the improperly
built program(s) at run-time, but that's a hack.

If you didn't know, NetBSD "pkgsrc" has both ucd-snmp and windowmaker.
