I have seen a lot of postings about problems installing Net::SSH2, but none seem to cover my issue. I have verified that I have dealt with all the dependencies, like libssh2, OpenSSL, etc. I have seen the lib and inc flags to use on the perl Makefile.PL command line. That is where I run into problems. (This is on Linux)

If I specify lib=/usr/local/lib (where libssh2 is), then run make, I get: 

Running Mkbootstrap for Net::SSH2 ()
chmod 644 SSH2.bs
rm -f blib/arch/auto/Net/SSH2/SSH2.so
LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib64:/lib64" gcc  -shared -O2 -g -pi

Do I need to have some kind if library path set?
