Hi Makarius,
If I understand your aim correctly, you are trying to alter the path the
runtime linker will use to find libpolyml.so. Is it not simpler to statically
link to libpolyml instead? There’s probably a more elegant way to achieve this,
but a blunt approach is:
./configure --disable-shared --prefix=/tmp/foo
make
make install
ldd /tmp/foo/bin/poly | grep libpolyml # shows nothing
