Umm, actually it doesn't.  You just need to set the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
If you just say "make", then the Makefile tells you what to do.
Below find the spew from "make" which I get.  Note that I generally
build in an arbitrary directory and install into /usr/local/geda.
However, you can install anywhere.

---------------------------READ THIS---------------------------
Before executing any of the above targets, set the below shell
variables.  The build process _will fail_ if you do not set
these variables!  You will also need to set these variables to
run the programs.

gEDA/gaf will be installed into /usr/local/geda

For vanilla bourne shells:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/geda/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=/usr/local/geda/bin:${PATH}
export PATH
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/geda/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

For bash:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/geda/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=/usr/local/geda/bin:${PATH}
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/geda/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

For csh/tcsh shell:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/geda/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
setenv PATH /usr/local/geda/bin:$PATH
setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/local/geda/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
