Indeed, and it's quite impossible in the cases that are causing us problems because the shared library in question is distributed in a jarfile and extracted at runtime. Setting RPATH is the only way to get it to work, I think. However, I note that on Linux use of DT_RPATH is deprecated. DT_RUNPATH, which doesn't override the use of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, is better.
