The 46 suffix indicates the version number of the ICU library, and that is fine. The problem was that I had a dynamic version of the ICU libraries in /usr/local which are always preferred by the linker even if the directory of the static libraries is listed on the command line. (This means that linking against static libraries without giving the full file name is not portable.)

I'll have to wait until the ptexlib.h issue (which is now the first error) is sorted. Thanks for your support so far.
