[TYPO3-mvc] Using external libraries within Extbase Extension

[Sebastian Schreiber]

Hi Hauke,
have a look at the code from the extension zend_framework.
http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/zend_framework/current/

The author sets the include_path in the ext_localconf.php.
Check out the way he did it and you should be fine.
I guess that your path definition is incorrect.
Otherwise it would not be necessary to use the autoloader functionality 
of typo3.

Good luck
