find where the library is located. without loss of generality, let the
library be in /usr/include/lib. when you compile the port, or run
configure or make or whatever, try:
CFLAGS+=-L/usr/include/lib make/configure/whatever command
if that doesn't work (i.e. the makefile doesn't honor CFLAGS or
overwrites it, edit the Makefile and find where it sets the flags for
the particular part of the build it's b0rking on. add -L/usr/include/lib
to that section.
you can go through Makefiles yourself. the only important piece of
information is: you can tell it to look in a dir for a library by
passing it -L/path/to/libs
