The problem of course is that we have no rpath pointing to the place

before was that I had /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE
mentioned in /etc/ld.so.conf in my old installation.)
This is a bug in the operating system. It should be configured so that it can find all libraries that it installs itself.
The perl binaries know perfectly well where to find the library, because they are built with its rpath, so normally there is no need to teach ld.so where to find it.
What I would like to do about this is change the platform-specific
makefiles to provide these macros in the form
rpath = -Wl,-rpath,$(rpathdir)
I have no problem with that. But are there going to be cases where we need to point to more than one library path?
Good point. If we come across that situation we'll have to do something even more clever, Meanwhile, I like this.
