I don't know anything about Electric Fence is it a DSO? If its a DSO you
can add it to your pfMakefile. If your using a standard pfMakefile's
this can be tricky -lmalloc is part of the SYSTEM_OPENGL macro already
which defines some of the libraries for linking in pfmakedefs. Now if
Electric Fence's library is called libmalloc.so then all you need to do
is add
-L <path_to_ElectricFences_lib_dir> to LDOPTS macro.

LDOPTS += -L <path_to_ElectricFences_lib_dir>

If you just want to do this for some debugging runs you can modify the
_RLD_LIST in the application at runtime.

`setenv _RLD_LIST /usr/lib32/lib_Electric_malloc.so:DEFAULT'

You will also need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH if the Electric Fence libs are
not in the default library path. You can set this env var in any shell
window, don't forget to unset it when your done.

man on rld and ld to read more about this.
