g++ dynamic library search setting

g++ dynamic library search setting

[Hillel (Sabba) Markowitz]

We have gcc installed in /usr/local/GCC rather that /usr/local.  If we build 
with the --enable-shared option, then g++ and g77 are unable to find the 
required libraries.  We want to set up gcc to search /usr/local/GCC/lib when 
compiling *without* having to set up LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  Is there a way of doing 
this?

KDE for example requires that gcc be built in shared mode as does linux so 
--disable-shared, while apparently working on many systems, does cause 
problems and should be avoided.

 -Ldir Add directory dir to the list of directories to be searched for
       `-l'.

  Kindly read the LINKER Options and DIRECTORY Options Sections of GCC
  man page. 

HTH :)
