I was able to load all the libraries by making symlinks from
<libname>.so.0 to <libname>.so.  I'm not sure what I did to make this
start working, since I tried it before and it didn't work.

Another problem I encountered was getting cffi:load-foreign-library to
recognize libcellsgtk.so.  I tried copying the prebuilt libcellsgtk.so
to /usr/lib, but I ended up having to compile it myself.  It's
confusing that cells-gtk comes with a prebuilt version.

Thanks for the help.
