Scott,
Notice what you included in your original post:
gcc -shared -nostartfiles -o libnspd.so listen.o log.omain.o
../nsext/nsextmsg.o -L../tcl8.3.4/unix -ltcl8.3g -lm -ldl -lpthread
-rpath ../../install/aolserver/lib
Note that it's just got -rpath and not -Wl,-rpath,$(AOLSERVER)/lib
there. Which means, the build rule is using $(RFLAG) instead
of $(RPATH).
Leave RFLAG and RPATH as they are, and fix the build rule by
replacing $(RFLAG) with $(RPATH) where appropriate.
I haven't checked out of CVS lately, so I can't tell you
specifically "where appropriate" is ... but if you can't
find it, I'll do a cvs update and look myself.
