Just like you need to add -I for the includes, you need to add '-L' to specify
non-standard library locations (ie '-L /usr/local/lib/spread')

There are three things you can do.  The cheater way is to add
/usr/local/lib/spread to /etc/ld.so.conf, then run '/sbin/ldconfig'

The less intrusive way (to the rest of the system at least) is to figure out
how to add '-rpath /usr/local/lib/spread' to that libtool line (hint: look for
the existing -rpath option that uses /usr/lib/apache2/modules)

The final way is to write a shell script around apache that sets
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/spread before executing.

Hope that helps,
