I'm using Devel::CheckLib so it should find it whether it's in the archlib/CORE
or /usr/lib (as long as your system is setup so that ld can find things in
/usr/lib).

Yeah, I'm not sure the best way to fix this. I think it's pretty common to have
symlinks to .so files especially if you allow for multiple versions like it
appears they are.

I've added a new error message for Debian so that it specifically mentions
creating a symlink.

Thanks again for this work. If you have the time could you please check out the
latest from svn and let me know if it works for you now?
