Two comments here:
- please use -L/usr/local/lib (i.e., no space between -L and the
  argument); then it should work.

- there was actually a regression in 1.5.22 over 1.5.20 which caused
  some paths to be incorrectly removed on FreeBSD and some other BSD
  variants.  Has since been fixed in CVS branch-1-5 (and HEAD).

Cheers,
Ralf
