Did you try using the '-L' option on the compile command line? And you
are using the '-l' option too? For example, you are trying to include
/usr/local/libweird.a in your executable, you would need to have
'-L/usr/local/lib -lweird' on the compile command line (if you are
using default Makefile rules, just add the quoted portion to the
LDCONFIG variable). 

IIRC, both ldconfig(8) and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are for the _runtime_
shared library linker and have nothing to do compiling programs.
