Looks for libfdb_c.dylib in /usr/lib instead of /usr/local/lib #88

I'm trying to use this library with Bun and even though I set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, it's not working:

1  LoganDark  ~ DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib" bun repl
Welcome to Bun v1.3.0
Type ".help" for more information.
[!] Please note that the REPL implementation is still experimental!
    Don't consider it to be representative of the stability or behavior of Bun overall.

Could not load native module. Make sure the foundationdb client is installed and
(on windows) in your PATH. https://www.foundationdb.org/download/

MacOS note: You also need to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib" due to notarization. Run:

  echo 'export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib"' >> ~/.zshrc
  source ~/.zshrc

Then retry. See https://github.com/josephg/node-foundationdb/issues/42 for details.

  Reason: tried: '/usr/lib/libfdb_c.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cache)

I looked at process.env and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is unset:

Is there any way to have the library look in /usr/local/bin as well or am I screwed?

I tried creating a symbolic link at /usr/bin/libfdb_c.dylib that points to /usr/local/bin/libfdb_c.dylib but I can't modify /usr/bin without disabling SIP (which would remove Apple Pay, iPhone Mirroring and other things)
