Technically, this can be worked around, but the real issue is that the sources internally reference this location as well, which is much more than just a library resolution problem. It seems merovingian just solves the internal references problem transparently for the way the homebrew module installs it, with its MONETDB5CONF variable. While install_name_tool rocks, I much more prefer the solution where a build itself sets @executable_path or alike entries. But maybe that is just wishful thinking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
