Ok, for the third time:

[declare -path iemlib -lib iemlib -lib iemlib1 -lib iemlib2]

Short explanation:

"-path iemlib" makes sure that the loader looks in the "iemlib" folder. 
It's important to put this *before* the "-lib" statements

"-lib iemlib" tries to load "iemlib.pd_linux" (newer iemlib version)

"-lib iemlib1 -lib iemlib2" tries to load "iemlib1.pd_linux" and 
"iemlib2.pd_linux" (old iemlib versions)
