Hi,
I miss somthing in the new package conventions. We should start to avoid
-rpath. Packages should be built without -rpath and if they need a
special path, a file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ should be created.
Google: "rpath is evil"
The solution to get the libraries working without rpath is the use of
ldconfig. Suppose you have the library /usr/lib/foo/foo.so.0. Then
simply create a file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/foo with the path (/usr/lib/foo)
as the content.
Cheers,
