I imagine the problem is located in the Makefile in src/main. If you 
look into src/gfx/ for example, you'll find all the sdl backend 
specific libs directly there. So they can be found when you specify the 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the run.sh script. However, if you look into 
src/main/, you'll find the backend libraries sit in the .libs 
subdirectory. So when using the run.sh script, they cannot be found and 
you'll get the error you reported.

I haven't compared the Makefiles yet, but I am almost sure I just did a 
copy and paste, so I am not quite sure why there is a different 
behaviour. But the source of the problem should be located there.

see above. I had this problem before, but I didn't figure it out back 
then. Maybe the info above helps, though.
