Additionally, on Linux you will have runtime linking errors is you do 
not specify a runtime library path.  If it installed shared libraries 
(which it does by default), you will link with those and have trouble 
finding them at runtime if you don't specify a runtime ld path.

So, in addition to -L/path_to_libs you want -Wl,-rpath=/path_to_libs

Alternatively, if you trust the directory containing the spread 
libraries you can add the directory name to /etc/ld.so.conf and run 
/sbin/ldconfig.  Then any every program on the system will look in that 
directory to resolve dynamic library dependencies.
