Under Solaris, it's quite possible to link against a library that the
program (or rather, ld.so) can't find at runtime.

If you link to a library in, say, /usr/local/lib under Linux, all you need
to use is "-L/usr/local/lib -lfoo".  But under Solaris, you also need to
use "-R/usr/local/lib", unless /usr/local/lib is in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
