Thank you very much for reporting this.

Effectively, your fix breaks backward compatibility on systems supporting 
--soname. More changes to configure and Makefile.in are needed. After 
looking at it I think that lzlib does not need the --soname mechanism; it 
can simply create the shared library as liblz.so.1 instead of liblz.so.1.14.

In one or two days I plan to make a release that will not use --soname, 
which should make it more portable. Stay tuned.

Best regards,
Antonio.
