Yes. That is exactly why all the Linux packagers of PLplot set the -DUSE_RPATH=OFF option. However, for individual users it is more convenient to have -DUSE_RPATH=ON (since in that case they don't have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH at all to get the installed version to work) so since I and virtually all our downloaders are individual users I decided to set USE_RPATH=ON as the default for our build system.
