[Yhc] can't build on MacOS?

[Thomas Shackell]

... Also of note is that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the path where the OS looks 
when dynamically loading libraries at runtime (on dlopen to be precise). 
I suspect what you need to set is LIBRARY_PATH, since that's the 
variable gcc uses to decide where to look for libraries:
