I think you're missing something here.  /usr/local/include is _not_
normally included and headers in there need -I/usr/local/include just like
things installed in /usr/pkg/include.  Also /usr/local/lib is _not_
normally included either.  You need -L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib just
like you'd need -L/usr/pkg/lib -R/usr/pkg/lib.

And I should point out, this is not unique to netbsd.  You very often
times see 3rd party stuff installed in /opt/local or even /opt/pkgname on
solaris systems.

now you'll need -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib
just like you would on any other system.
