I find this quite horrible since I think libraries and executables intended to be installed in "non-system" directories should always set RPATH, and I hate having shell scripts wrapped around test executables. With autotools, I'm constantly fixing up a custom environment so that I can run the actual executable from .libs in a debugger or inspect it with utilities like ldd. Jed
