I'm running Dovecot on an Ubuntu (Edgy) box. I'd like to link dovecot against the latest stable version of the OpenLDAP libraries instead of the system defaults. I can't really replace the existing libraries as other packages rely on them.

If this didn't use libtool, I would be able to influence the runtime linker by manipulating -rpath and -L. I can't seem to figure out how to get this to work with Dovecot's libtool-based build.

The system libldap_r.so.2 lives in /usr/lib My libldap_r.so.2.3 lives in /usr/local/lib

Anyone have any pointers?
