In the grand old days, Homebrew installed to /usr/local and all was well. Now, however, while Intel Homebrew still does this, Apple Silicon / M1 / M2 Homebrew has gone and picked a new prefix: /opt/homebrew. A good explanation of the rationale is at https://earthly.dev/blog/homebrew-on-m1/. Basically, Homebrew had to admit that Fink and MacPorts were right. 😛
The solution is to call brew --prefix and add those libraries explicitly to the search list. Keep going if brew is not installed.
