Works for me too!

Doesn't sound very feature-like to me. First I thought the issue was 
that I was missing bglibs or had too old bglibs versions but I didn't have.

Also, there's something wrong in the relations bglibs<->cvm:
bglibs-1.022]$ head -n1 conf-{bin,lib}
==> conf-bin <==
/usr/local/bin

==> conf-lib <==
/usr/local/lib

cvm-0.71]$ head -n1 conf-bg*
==> conf-bgincs <==
/usr/local/bglibs/include

==> conf-bglibs <==
/usr/local/bglibs/lib

bglibs by default installs into /usr/local/{bin,lib}
cvm by default expects bglibs in /usr/local/bglibs/{bin,lib}

I decided to change the bglibs install path from local to local/bglibs 
because I like to keep things separated.
