Replying to [comment:6 coke]:
> default compiler with OS X 10.4 doesn't support -rpath; the one with
10.5 does.

> So, if the OS is >= 10.5, we should be able to use the rpath setting
from the linux hints file, no problem. For 10.4, we need to have the
install process use install_name_tool (as in revious versions of the
macport).
Ok. Makes sense. For OS < 10.5, the hints file should probably set
{{{rpath='' }}} to avoid the problem you ran into here. (Incidentally,
one of the motivations behind my 2nd rpath patch in TT #476 was to allow
end users to work around bugs of this sort without patching parrot
themselves or waiting for a new release, and to also make it easier for
developers to experiment with different settings while trying to figure
out what will work.)
