Indeed using ERL_LIBS fixes it:

$ cd $DIR/system
$ ERL_LIBS=`pwd`/lib/ erl -boot releases/0.0.78/start

Erlang R14B (erts-5.8.1) [source] [smp:2:2] [rq:2] [async-threads:0]
[hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

I thought that boot script does set up paths. Why doesn't it? Can I
make it to do so?

Thanks a lot!
