I didn't want to make an application for each sublibrary. (i think LDADD 
is for linking executabels?)

As the libraries i want to use are already installed i should use the 
-llib syntax, but where? i already passed the flags via AM_CPPFLAGS=... 
but is it the right way? and how can i define one path to link at and une 
the location in the makefile.am's ( or can i make autoconf search the path 
?)

Thank you very much,
