Quoting from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rpath_(linking) "he primary disadvantage of using RPATH is that it overrides the LD_LIBRARY_PATH settings which makes things like running a precompiled binary out of a user's home directory or some other non-default location difficult or impossible. Use of RPATH also makes it difficult, if not impossible, to upgrade libraries without forcing a reinstallation of all the software dependent on (even the older versions of) the libraries." [I haven't been following the discussion too closely, so I may have missed the point entirely.] -- Push the envelope. Watch it bend. _______________________________________________ Cvs-ghc mailing list Cvs-ghc@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-ghc
