Hi;

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for such a question, if it isn't
could someone please point me in the right direction?

I was trying to install the Image::Scale module from CPAN on OpenBSD 5.0
and it was failing as it couldn't find libjpeg during linking. After some
digging it appears that /usr/local/lib, where libjpeg lives, isn't part of
Config.pm's libpth variable.

I did a bit of googling and it seems that this issue has happened before
(http://monkey.org/openbsd/archive/misc/0001/msg01318.html) and was solved
by adding /usr/local/lib to loclibpth in the openbsd.sh hints file.

I can see that commit is still in the source, loclibpth is still in the
openbsd.sh hints file, but it isn't in Config.pm.

Does anyone have any ideas why there is this discrepancy?

Thanks
Darcy
