The correct syntax is "-Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib". However,
/usr/local/lib is a common shared library path on most Linux systems and
is probably already in your /etc/ld.so.conf. Check that it is and run
/sbin/ldconfig to update the necessary links, assuming your SASL libs
really are in /usr/local/lib. You shouldn't need to specify the RPATH
when compiling (objdump -p will display the RPATH in an executable if one
is explicitly set, but doing so shouldn't be necessary in this case)..
