I think people here do not know about $ORIGIN. This allows to define relative rpaths. E.g., a package with a program foo and a library libbar.so where foo is installed in $PATH/bin and libbar.so is defined in $PATH/lib should use -rpath \$ORIGIN/../lib The $ORIGIN is defined relative to the location of the object containing the reference. This is available in Solaris 7 (maybe 2.6?) and Linux w/ glibc 2.1. -- ---------------. drepper at gnu.org ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Cygnus Solutions `--' drepper at cygnus.com `------------------------
