The folder where those libraries reside needs to be included in the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
I usually do an 'export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:"<path_to_libroot_build.so>" ' before
calling makebootable, where <path_to_libroot_build.so> is the real
path to the libroot_build.so library, obviously :)


Sounds like an easy fix, I'll give it a shot.  Thanks!
