Hi Nikola!

You are using a quite old reltool, so I would consider upgrading it...
Anyway, I'm guessing now, but I suspect that the problem is that the
lib_dirs you provide is really the application directory and not the lib
dir... could that be correct? What I mean is that maybe lib_dirs should be
set to /home/nick/code instead of /home/nick/code/egon_server??
