[JDEV] problems compiling

[Nitin Borwankar]

This is a linker problem and the solution is mentioned
(without mentioning the problem!!) in the Server HOW-TO
which exhorts you to run ldconfig as often as possible.

Make sure /usr/local/lib is known to the dynamic linker.
On Linux this is done by adding a line (/usr/local/lib)
in /etc/ld.so.confdo not know what the equiv is on 
FreeBSD.
After that on Linux I run ldconfig. Again do not know the equiv on
FreeBSD.  Basically these two steps will make any newly installed
libraries
known to the dynamic linker.

You need to do this 2-step after each new set of libraries.
If all new libraries go in /usr/local/lib, then you need to do the
ldconfig step only from the second time onwards.
