The path to the shared objects during linking is specified as
-L./bin. This path gets stored into the executables and will
not work after installation. Try ldd or dump -H on the binaries to 
see what shared objects are needed. You can set LIBPATH at runtime to 
point to the directory with the shared objects. The option -blibpath 
could be used during linking, to get the correct path into the 
binaries.
