you need to ensure that the directory CGAL/lib (the full path, not just
"CGAL/lib") is in the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH such that the 
dynamic
linker can find it. Maybe there is a setting in the Eclipse dialogs for that, 
too.

As an alternative you can add -Wl,-R CGAL/lib to the linker command (where you
probably already have -L CGAL/lib).
