You are more likely to get a helpful answer if you give a minimal

The following is on Linux.
I'd like to build python with ./configure --enable-shared. And
install in a non-standard place (an nfs-mounted directory).
However, the binary is then not usable, since it can't find the
library. I can fix this by defining LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but I don't want
to do that.
