fc-list run as myself (i.e. non-root) returns nothing. Run as root it 
returns a list of fonts. Run as root with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib 
returns nothing. Think I've got a problem here...

One positive thing that I can report is that  lazbuild --help  returns 
sensible output, even using the default (GNU?) linker.
