Hello Fred,

This is the same thing I see on SuSU 7.3 already.  In fact searches in 
_all_ directories of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and fails as soon as it doesn't 
find it.  (When I moved the correct entry to the front, it failed 
reporting that it didn't find it in the second entry) so I've added all 
relevant LD_LIBRARY_PATH entries to my /etc/ld.so.conf file (ran 
ldconfig) and
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
and then it works for me.

Of course it should also work with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setup and I would 
also prefer if the *real* bug gets fixed, (be it in libtool or whereever).

Cheers,
Dave
