Well, as a system lib I understand it can be installed nearly anywhere:

    /sw/opt/postgresql/${VERSION}/bin
    /opt/local/lib/postgresql${VERSION}/bin
    But from documentation on the web, I gather that the user can
    change the "/sw/" and "/opt/local" prefix to anything.

So I wonder what we would put as absolute path. Are we supposed to
bundle it with LibreOffice, à la Microsoft Windows?

So it is a library that some LO library links against, but which is not part of the Mac OS X system (i.e., is not guaranteed to be available on every machine, in a fixed, well-known location)?

In that case, do not link any LO library directly against it at all. Have some logic to programmatically find where the library is on a given machine (if it is available at all), then access it via dlopen/dlysm.

Or, include a copy of the library in the LO installation set and link against that one.
