I think that is the business of the packagers, or the final users that
want to install from sources, to configure with a directory where his
system can find it, or to set environment variables, use ldconfig, or
whatever. This is a common scenario with common solutions.

Of course, there is always the risk of people installing in
/usr/local/lib and not having that directory in the ldconfig paths and
complain us. But every project in the world that use gnu autotools
face the same risk and live with it.
