I don't use FreeBSD, but meanwhile I'll fill in what I know about
OpenBSD, which I hope is ``similar enough''.

OpenBSD does have an ldconfig, but it doesn't use /etc/ld.so.conf;
instead you specify the directories on invocation, so you normally do

	$ sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib /usr/X11R6/lib

However, the linker does not appear to use /var/run/ld.so.hints (no
mention of that file when I ``strings /usr/bin/ld''). What's always
worked for me is to ensure that -L/usr/local/lib is specified, assuming
the requisite libraries are installed in /usr/local/lib.

I'm sure others will have different experiences with this, which I'll
be glad to hear.

What could be more interesting to see may be the last few lines of
config.log. That's usually very telling about what the problem really
is, so if Micheal still has it around I certainly won't mind looking
at it.
