You can try the details that Fedora specifies for fixing rapth issues, it will work for any build system as its generic for autoconf based buils. The section for 'removing rpath' is probably what your after.https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Beware_of_Rpath
Thanks for the suggestion. tried that already, however (using chrpath), but the library then fails completely.As I understand it, this is tied to how xulrunner is compiled, so if it "just works" on Fedora, I suspect this to be becuase the library paths of xulrunner is already included in some lookup path somewhere. I really do not know the details here, which is why I involved Mike Hommey who packages xulrunner for Debian and have offered to help improve the Hulahop code to (as I understand it) a more generic style usable not only on systems happening to be modelled the same as Fedora.
