Libraries in non-standard locations

[Norbert Sendetzky]

Hi all

Another problem appeared:
If someone have a library in a non-standard location, usually 
LDFLAGS=-L /path/to/lib is used but this doesn't seem to work:

/bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link 
gcc -std=gnu99  -g -O2  -L /usr/lib/mysql -o 
libmysqlbackend.la -rpath /usr/local/lib/opendbx -module -version-info 
2:0:1 -L /usr/lib/mysql 
libmysqlbackend_la-mysqlbackend.lo -lmysqlclient_r -lz -ldl
gcc -std=gnu99 -shared  .libs/libmysqlbackend_la-mysqlbackend.o  
-L/home/nose/Project/opendbx/devel/backends/mysql -lmysqlclient_r -lz -ldl  
-Wl,-soname -Wl,libmysqlbackend.so.1 -o .libs/libmysqlbackend.so.1.1.0
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient_r
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

As you can see the call to libtool include the "-L /usr/lib/mysql", but the 
gcc call doesn't. My Makefile.am for this lib is

pkglib_LTLIBRARIES = libmysqlbackend.la
libmysqlbackend_la_SOURCES = mysqlbackend.c mysqlbackend.h
libmysqlbackend_la_CFLAGS = @PKGCFLAGS@
libmysqlbackend_la_LDFLAGS = -module -version-info 
@LIBVERSION@ -L /usr/lib/mysql
libmysqlbackend_la_LIBADD = address@hidden@

and I've never fiddled around with LDFLAGS in my configure.ac. My system is 
Debian Etch with automake 1.9.6 but this appeared also on RHEL/CentOS 4

Thank you for any hints
