For my custom OpenSSL setups using -Dpkg_config_path, meson initially adds the correct RPATH during build, then accidentally(?) strips it during the `ninja install` step. This has been complained about [1], and it seems like maybe they intended to fix it back in 0.55, but I'm not convinced they did. :) I work around it by manually setting -Dextra_lib_dirs. I just tried doing that with ICU 72, and it worked without a patch. Hopefully that helps some? --Jacob [1] https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/6541
