Hello Troy,

I think I am getting exactly this problem.

When executing cURL, I get:

ld.so failed: can't find shared library "libcurl.so.0.0"

ld.so in in /usr/libexec, but libcurl is in my custom account /u/me/lib
Is adding /u/me/lib to my path will do or must the libraries be in the
system path only
.... or should I use LD_LIBRARY_PATH like you suggest.

In the later case, is LD_LIBRARY_PATH a env variable that I set using:

setenv LF_LIBRARY-PATH -L/u/me/lib

In this case, I guess I must purge config.cache, redo ./configure with
the proper env variable and make install again ??

BTW, what is a static compile?

Thanks for your help.
