ok that makes sense. So the question is, once gyp compiled and the linker linked the shared library into the .node module using ldflags. How do you require the module without needing to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH ?
Now if I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH I can require the module and it works. But if I don't set it, require fails saying it can't find the shared library.
