It is done on most platforms that support this type of thing. The Linux settings (in lnxLib.rules) are: # if LinuxBinUtilsMajorVersion >= 26 # ifdef UseInstalled # if LinuxBinUtilsMajorVersion < 27 # define ExtraLoadFlags -Wl,-rpath-link,$(USRLIBDIRPATH) # endif # else # define ExtraLoadFlags -Wl,-rpath-link,$(BUILDLIBDIR) <=== # endif # else # define ExtraLoadFlags -Wl,-rpath,$(USRLIBDIRPATH) # endif LinuxBinUtilsMajorVersion is somewhat mis-named. For binutils versions x.y.z, LinuxBinUtilsMajorVersion = x * 10 + y x < 2 || (x == 2 && y <= 9) LinuxBinUtilsMajorVersion = x * 100 + y otherwise I don't know why ExtraLoadFlags is set this way. The setting I've marked with "<===" is what gets used on any modern Linux. If it is a religious issue, it's not an XFree86 religious issue, but probably a Linux one :-). Or maybe it is just an oversight. What I am most curious about is why the original reporter is seeing a problem and most others apparently do not. I never have, providing I re-run ldconfig after installing new libraries (and I never use LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which I agree is not a solution).
