Take a look at configure.in for how libraries are discovered and the Makefile.am files for how the header path and linker flags are defined.

Add new linker path and include path entries so the build system knows how to find the files where you originally compiled them. -- Craig Ringer http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
