My laptop (on which the problem occurs) runs Ubuntu, which is based on Debian.

Any idea where I can get the missing library from? Google wasn't much help.
And would it be possible to add a test to configure.in to detect the problem?
(Would the test program in your mail be a precise enough test?) If yes, we
could modify bootcheck to use dynamic linking in parallel grades in the test
suite if the configure time test detects this problem with static linking.
