Oh, it is possible to modify binary, after build, to embed specific library 
locations using
install_name_tool . see 
http://www.unix.com/man-page/osx/1/install_name_tool/

 The library dependence is likely
 dynamic... you could examine which copy of the library
 it is trying to load by:
 
 otool -L <your_binary>
 
 To some extent, you can override it with:
 
 export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/X11/lib
 
 before you run the binary, but this is generally frown upon,
 as other things may break.
 
 To force embedding a specific library location into the
 binary at build time, use the 
 compiler/linker -rpath option - see this, for example:
