closer look: exam is a shell wrapper, and I don't understand the inner workings.
In essence, the shell wrapper ensures that the library is found during execution by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH. You might try doing this by hand. Alternatively, I recommend you reconfigure CLN as a static library only by passing the --disable-shared flag to configure. That will make exam directly executable without libtool's shell wrapper.
