Of course. I'm not an expert in this, but I guess when you specify the lib directory it is going to use the first lib that is supposed to work.

Well, the problem is that you have several client libraries on the machine. AFAIK there is no way to specify a specific version of it, so you have to move the others out of the way when you build (by renaming). Later you can put them back.
