You probably meant LDFLAGS, no LD_FLAGS.

You need to be aware that what you specify at link-time, isn't necessary the
same that's used later at run-time.

If you link your program to use libcurl as a shared library, it gets loaded at
run-time by ld.so and it typically has its own path to search in order to find
the libs. That doesn't have to then find the same lib!

On linux, you set the path in /etc/ld.so.conf, but you can also link your
program to use a specific set path or even change the path in your shell with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

None of this is curl specific.
