First of all, it appears you are linking statically.  This is generally
a bad idea.

Second, I'm guessing you're not using pkg-config to get the CFLAGS and
LIBS required to build and link against liboil or schroedinger.  This
is pretty much required, as evidenced by you missing "-lrt" in the
link flags.
