Bug reference:      2159
Logged by:          Henry B. Hotz

PostgreSQL version: 8.1.1
Operating system:   Solaris 9
Description:        Run-time library path not set
Details: 

When the --with-libraries=<dir>:<dir>... configure option is used it should
set not only -L<dir> options, but -R<dir> options as well.  If this is not
done then the resulting binaries and libraries cannot be used unless the
user sets corresponding LD_LIBRARY_PATH and/or LD_RUN_PATH environment
variables.  If it is done, then the requirement goes away.

If it is done then you can *still* use the shared libraries (e.g. for make
check) by setting LD_RUN_PATH to their current location even if they are not
"where they belong".
