 'make test' works fine without installation.
 This problem will be happend when old version is still installed.
 (This is one of reasons why 'make update' delete the package first?)
 
 This test suite is performed with LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to ${WRKDIR}.
 Then works fine without installation.
 But test program is linked with -rpath pointing to ${PREFIX}/lib.
 This is because it is failed when old version is installed.
