Glad you got it fixed, but I thought I'd point out the misunderstanding
above as well. When using relative links, they are relative to the link
target, not the current directory (a very common misconception). IOW:
/usr/lib/../../lib, not /sources/lib. The difference between ../../lib
and /lib in the link becomes very important if you were to mount that
partition elsewhere.
