I admit I do not understand what exactly I need to do to use that
private shared library.  I checked the content of the packages
libnode-dev and libnode64 and did not found anything that looks
like libv8.  Could you give any more verbose hint how I can link
against the private shared library you mentioned?

Kind regards
