This is a good thing: it is telling you something important, which is 
that you aren't linking to the correct library version.  This is why 
that feature was created.

Something's messed up in your linkage settings, because the examples 
should be built against the library in the lib subdir, but it looks like 
it's erroneously trying to link to the old version still installed.
