This is no doubt due to the fact that Mac OS X (annoyingly) puts the
full path within dynamic libraries.  One solution would be to build with
static libraries instead.  I believe there is another solution though,
something to do with 'RPATH' but I don't know the details.  If you
search the list archives, you will see it has been discussed before.

Good luck,
