Re: /usr/local/lib on library path


Ehm.. why?

Try a gcc -print-search-dirs on any *NIX of GNU box and see if 
/usr/local/lib is in there. On my Linux box, this gives:

libraries: 
=/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/:/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/../../../../i386-redhat-linux/lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/../../../../i386-redhat-linux/lib/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/../../../i386-redhat-linux/3.2/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/../../../:/lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/:/lib/:/usr/lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/:/usr/lib/

and on my FreeBSD box this gives:
libraries: 
=/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-freebsd4.7/3.2.1/:/usr/lib/gcc/i386-unknown-freebsd4.7/3.2.1/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-freebsd4.7/3.2.1/../../../../i386-unknown-freebsd4.7/lib/i386-unknown-freebsd4.7/3.2.1/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-freebsd4.7/3.2.1/../../../../i386-unknown-freebsd4.7/lib/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-freebsd4.7/3.2.1/../../../i386-unknown-freebsd4.7/3.2.1/:/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-freebsd4.7/3.2.1/../../../:/lib/i386-unknown-freebsd4.7/3.2.1/:/lib/:/usr/lib/i386-unknown-freebsd4.7/3.2.1/:/usr/lib/

so I see no reason for Cygwin to add it when Linux and BSD don't (not that 
Linux and BSD are the only relevant systems to compare to, of course)
