I might be wrong then. I always thought that there was some kind of lib directory option in the ./configure script that could be set, if not it'd default (usually to /usr/local or whatever had been coded by the programmer). For systems such as macports, they'd have set the library path to /opt/local/lib I believe. Unfortunately, my programming experience and knowledge is extremely limited, and I might be mistaking shared libraries with runtime dependent libraries. I'm hoping if I'm incorrect then someone can show me where, but this is how I've understood it for a while now.
I guess Simon is talking about ld.conf that exists on Linux, and for which there is no Mac OS X equivalent.
