I always compile with the full path and the library on all machines with
no problem.

Many people either install the binary version of tcp-wrappers which
doesn't have the library at all or forget to install the library by hand
since it doesn't get installed by thw wrapper package. Yes /usr/lib or
/user/local/bin is the best place for it. Most Linux distributions put it
in /usr/lib.
