I've since realised that this problem is actually a linking issue, not a compile issue. There are three options (that I know of): - ld.so.conf - LD_LIBRARY_PATH at runtime - LD_RUN_PATH at compile time (or some variation of, using linker flags) This is not a problem on the Nagios Plugins because we use libtool which adds in the correct linker flags, which is why check_mysql works okay (run ldd check_mysql and it will find the mysql libraries in the non-standard directories). This has not been included in the Altinity patch for NDO utils because libtool is a bit of a sledgehammer to crack this nut.
