This has been true for many years; if you install libraries to
locations outside of your OS's LD_LIBRARY_PATH, you're responsible for
ensuring that the linker/rtld has enough information to use it. man
rtld/ld.so/ld
In fact, whilst installing MySQL 5.5 from source, the following
message is emitted (obviously, the location is different):
Libraries have been installed in:
/usr/local/lib/mysql
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
