This problem seems to be similar with the problem between anthy and
uim.  The easiest (and dirtiest) solution is define DLOPEN_SHLIB_EXT
as ".so.$(LIBRARY_MAJORVERSION)" instead of ".so", but this approach
can't handle external libraries provided as another package with
another library version.

If you have any idea, please tell me.
