Okay, I figured out the reason this worked is b/c I had also installed into 
/usr/local to test things out.

When I remove libswish-e.a from /usr/local/lib; I can't make test.

I've tried dozens of combinations of LDFLAGS; LD_LIBRARY_PATH; and 
LD_RUN_PATH -- but I can only get this to install as root.  I don't have 
root on production.  Any ideas how I can build this perl module without 
putting libswish-e.a in /usr/local/bin on Solaris 8 with gcc 2.95.3?
