Hi Mark,

So it seems to me that SYS_LIBS IS the appropriate option for libgpib.a,
because that normally would reside in one of the linkers default library
search paths.

My Fedora Core 6 installation doesn't list /usr/local/lib in
/etc/ld.so.conf (I think the OP was using FC-6 too IIRC).
uranus% cat /etc/ld.so.conf
include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
uranus% cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*
/usr/lib/atlas
/usr/lib/octave-2.9.9
/usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib
SYS_LIBS does seem reasonable, but if you're going to do that then the
asyn documentation should explain that to use the NI libgpib.so library
the user may have to add an entry to /etc/ld.so.conf or create a new
file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d to include the appropriate directory in the
linker's default search path.
