If you want to link with your own yara static library, you need to specify the path where to find the libyara.a in $YARA_LIBRARY_PATH like documented in the yara-sys readme.

If you prefer to dynamically link against libyara.so at runtime, you must set LIBRARY_STATIC=0 (source)

You can also have cc automatically compile the lib at build time and static link it by using the vendored feature.

I also encounter this problem, and I fix this by doing

export YARA_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/
export YARA_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include/

before cargo r

export YARA_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/
export YARA_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include/

It's weird, /usr/local is in the default path, it should be automatic.
