[CMake] link library paths

[Alex Olivas]

I don't know what the issue was, but it's fixed in a later version.
I upgraded from 2.8.2 to 2.8.7 and the problem went away.

So when you say my linker-line is wrong, you mean in the
verbose output there's no '-L/usr/lib' passed to ld, right?
Or is there something wrong with my cmake file, other than
the use of link_directories?
Thanks,
Alex.
