Hi Simon,

the problem that I have with rpath is that it (AFAIK) assumes to know 
the location where things are installed, as it needs to be an absolute 
path. Which is fine and dandy for system components that are only 
installed in one place, but I'm not sure if that's how people use OpenSG.

So here's a question to the users: do you install OpenSG in the system 
pathes (i.e. using the RPM) or do you put it in some other directory and 
use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to it?

An alternative would be to have a runner script that uses osg-config or 
some other way to find the right path and add it to LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
before running the program (I think vred uses something like that, and 
so does mpi and other libs). But that would require run their stuff 
using the runner, which is painful.

Comments?
