Hey, no badmouthing old Suns. Siag.nu used to be a Sparc 4 until last
year. Now it's an Intel 486/33 load balanced with an old Alpha.
You can stop laughing now.
Anyway, I don't know much about how OpenBSD shared libraries work, but
what I see above looks right to my understanding: the full path, the
library name, the major number and the minor number. It seems more likely
that it is the compiler which can't find the libraries, i.e.
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure
might help.
