Hi Benoît,

I made a small example you can check. Library is called "MyLib". The
application using the library is called "TestLibApp"

I am looking at this for distribution to end user reasons.
So I made an installation package of the library (attached -> Ubuntu
package) and installed it.

It installed into /usr/bin (see screenshot-00.png)

I then opened TestLibApp in IDE and had the library point
to /usr/bin/MyLib.gambas (see screenshot-01.png)

Next I did a debug->run in IDE and all works just fine.
I then make an installation package for end user (attached -> Ubuntu
package) and installed it.

It complains about not finding depended library MyLib (see
screenshot-02.png), although the library is in /usr/bin!!

Also provided source of both library and test application.

Hope this helps...

Willy
