Thank you, Jean. It works!

Btw, Google helped me found another solution:

http://cvs.openpkg.org/chngview?cn=16208

For your convenience, I briefly list the code here:

Both methods work perfectly, Thanks. 

Now I met another problem: although there is no error now, a warning is harassing me: 

*** Warning: the command libtool uses to detect shared libraries,
*** /usr/bin/file, produces output that libtool cannot recognize.
*** The result is that libtool may fail to recognize shared libraries
*** as such.  This will affect the creation of libtool libraries that
*** depend on shared libraries, but programs linked with such libtool
*** libraries will work regardless of this problem.  Nevertheless, you
*** may want to report the problem to your system manager and/or to
*** bug-libtool gnu org

I don't know what these words exactly mean, and can I ignore it? I don't know what 
my libtool version is (inborn with the OS - FreeBSD 5.3). How to check the version of
libtool? I am not sure whether I should upgrade this library to the newest one. :(
