Summary: curl 7.19.5 partially ignores configures --prefix trigger

Initial Comment:
Hello, when (in curl Version 7.19.5) issuing "./configure --prefix=/usr/local", compile and install the whole thing, curl reports:

#> curl --version
curl: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This issue is fixed, when setting a symlink, pointing from /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4 to /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.4.1.1 :

#> ln -s /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.4.1.1 /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4
#> curl --version
curl 7.19.5 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.5 OpenSSL/0.9.8a zlib/1.2.3 libidn/0.6.0
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict http file https ftps
Features: IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz
#>

Because we tell curl with --prefix=/usr/local , that it shall work inside /usr/local (where this file exists), I think it's a bug, that it _only_ looks for libcurl.so.4 inside /usr/lib !

Message:
This is not a bug. The configure script and make install only makes the
install happen in the right dir, you still need to possible fix ldconfig or
what your OS uses to have the run-time ld.so find the right libcurl dir.
