Jim, you can use LIBRARY_PATH, which is searched by ld.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is only for ld.so.  I'm closing this since it really
isn't a bug and Ian has reassigned it to me.

Ugh, that is horrible.  It is not a matter of me not being able to
figure out how to compile things, I know how to add the -L switch, but
it is a matter of convenience for people.  I'm also sure that some
people will get bitten by this if they try and compile a program
without Imake (XV 3.10a suggest not using imake).  On our sun we can
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to specify the libraries dirs to search, but that
doesn't seem to work.  And I can't find any similar option in the man
pages or info files.  Is there something I can do to override this
default behaviour?

/usr/X11R6/lib is not supposed to be searched by ld by default.  What
are you trying to compile?  If it has an Imakefile, just run xmkmf and
everything will be setup correctly for make.  This is the normal way
of configuring and building X packages.

Package: multiple?

If I install X11 and the GCC tools, ld can't seem to find
/usr/X11R6/lib libraries by itself.  I find myself having to add a
-L/usr/X11R6/lib to the makefile.  I don't know where this can be
fixed, or if it can be fixed, but it does not seem normal.  ldconfig
seems to find the library without a problem.
