The IDE and standalone builder have an extra step which makes sure an 
extension can find its code (shared library) resources. In this specific 
case, before 'load extension' you need to do:

set the revLibraryMapping["tz"] to 
"/home/ua829968/public_html/rebbe.tech/tz-test/extensions/com.livecode.library.timezone/code/x86_64-linux/tz.so"

(substitute x86_64-linux for x86-linux, if you are running on a 32-bit 
host)

This tells the engine where to find the 'tz' library which is referenced 
by the foreign handler bindings in the tz extension.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
