On the one hand, LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not work in this case, you would
have to set LD_RUN_PATH. On the other hand, these two environment
variables are IMHO the wrong solution under Solaris. I personally have
tweaked all those xyz-config scripts that come with Gtk, Gimp, Imlib etc,
to return parallel to the -L option the -R option, when called with --libs.
My gtk-config returns
fasil:/homes/jc> gtk-config --libs
-L/vol/gtk-1.2.8/lib -R/vol/gtk-1.2.8/lib -L/usr/openwin/lib -R/usr/openwin/lib -lgtk -lgdk -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXext -lX11 -lsocket -lnsl -lm
and usually configure scripts work out of the box. Ok, Gimp's don't,
because the developers decided to parse the result of gtk-config and
throw out everything that does not look like '-L...', but that's a
different, though sad story.
