title: g++ 4.4 "error while loading shared libraries"
body: <p>I'm following the C++ Cookbook tutorial on static and dynamic library linking with g++.  I can build the binary fine, but when I run it I get the error</p>
  
  <p>./hellobeatles: error while loading shared libraries: libjohnpaul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory</p>
  
  <p>I used the command
  : g++ -o hellobeatles hellobeatles.cpp -L ../johnpaul/ -L ../georgeringo/ -ljohnpaul -lgeorgeringo</p>
  
  <p>The program builds and runs fine if I explicitly list the path like
  : g++ -o hellobeatles hellobeatles.cpp ../johnpaul/libjohnpaul.so ../georgeringo/libgeorgeringo.so</p>
  
  <p>Am I linking to the libaries incorrectly in the first command? Or is there some configuration setting I need to muck with?</p>
  
  <p>I'm running an Ubuntu 9.10 guest vm in VirtualBox if that matters, and here's the -v
