more broken installers

[Anthony <orders nodivisions com>]

Installing ggv-2.4.0.1.  Like many other packages, it refuses to look in 
the /usr/local/lib directory for glib, and instead it looks in /usr/lib.

glib is installed in /usr/local.

/etc/ld.so.conf has /usr/local/lib as the first line, and doesn't have 
/usr/lib in it at all.  And I have run ldconfig many times.

Various kludgey fixes for this brokenness have worked for other 
packages.  export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" worked for gedit, and 
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib worked for pango.  But not ggv.  I 
also tried to pass --libdir=/usr/local/lib.  But ggv doesn't seem to 
care that I've told it in many ways to look in /usr/local/lib; it 
insists on looking in /usr/lib, because the files aren't there.

(And yes, I am rm -rf'ing the ggv source folder and re-un-packing it 
each time I try something else.)

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY THESE INSTALLERS ARE LOOKING IN THE WRONG 
PLACE.  Please.  Please help.  This is so frustrating.
