I'd say it depends on the way you distribute things.  You may well use
an LGPLed library in a BSD licenced product - at least I don't see any
problem here.  However, what you cannot do is that you modify the LGPLed
source and put the result under a BSD licence.  So what's the problem
you have?

If you need to modify my library (you may also ask for modifications,
of course ;), just go ahead - as long as you keep the LGPL for the
modified library.  But this does not affect other software that uses
the library: it can have any licence you want, even commercial ones.

Regards,
Markus
