You add /usr/local/lib to the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and it will be found. I'm not running ELF on FreeBSD yet, but with Solaris, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is ignored for setuid programs, in which case you would need to make a symbolic link for the library to a directory that was in his run path, like /usr/lib.
