We've just discovered that this fix is not enough. Actually the new directories are due to the "multi-arch" feature of Debian systems, that allows to install libraries from other (foreign) architectures than the one the machine is (the classic example, i386 libraries on a amd64 host). the fix included to look up in additional directories is currently only for X11, while for example Debian has fftw3 that's multi-arch-ified and thus will fail to be detected. Could this fix be extended to include all other things that are checked? for reference the bug in Debian is [1]; there was also a patch[2] in previous versions, that was using gcc to get the multi-arch paths - you might use as a reference, or to implement something debian-systems-specific.
