7.6.3 binary distro, AutoOpts pre-installed

If you will be distributing (or copying) your project to a system that does have AutoOpts installed, you will still need to ensure that the library is findable at program load time, or you will still have to statically link. The former can be accomplished by linking your project with --rpath or by setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH appropriately. Otherwise, See section 7.6.2 binary distro, AutoOpts not installed.
