wild guess says one was linked statically (eg, libocci.a rather than 
libocci.so).   static linking embeds a copy of the lib in the module so 
its not externally referenced.   good in that you don't have to worry 
about the lib path, bad in that if the lib is updated your module won't 
see the new one, good in that if those updates break something, it won't 
effect you.
