	Let me guess: these aren't installed in the standard /usr/lib
directory when you try this?  I'll bet it's not adding the correct
-Wl,-rpath,... arguments to run when the libraries are in dist/lib.
To fix add the appropriate rpath argument (i.e. a relative path pointing
to where the libs actually are).  It would be really nice if "-L<foo>"
did -Wl,-path,<foo> automatically, but it doesn't.
