Thanks for the resend.

I think the issue is this:  libtool doesn't add a run path to
/opt/etherlab/lib because it thinks the runtime linker will already
search that by default.  Your --config output shows that it is listed
as such:

| # Run-time system search path for libraries
| sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec="/lib /usr/lib /usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d /usr/X11R6/lib 
/usr/lib/Xaw3d /usr/i386-suse-linux/lib /usr/local/lib /opt/kde3/lib 
/opt/gnome/lib /opt/etherlab/lib "

This typically happens on GNU/Linux if the path is listed in
/etc/ld.so.conf* (the Libtool configure macros try to parse that).

I'm wondering, if it's listed there (could you please confirm that?),
why doesn't the runtime linker find it then in your case?

Cheers,
Ralf
