Hi Petru,

If library A needs library B then any program P which uses library A is also 
dependent upon library B.  Hence P either needs to know about library B and 
explicitly include information on how to locate it when P is linked or else 
library B needs to be placed in a standard location where it can be found by 
the linker.  Putting B in a non-standard location and then not telling the 
linker about it just does not work.

Cheers
