I confirm the above for the epa_build results here. And post-release I suppose I should modify the autotools epa_build of itcl3.4 (and other Tcl etc., components) to get rid of all potential rpath issues for those components. But I cannot figure out how the above situation actually creates problems for you. For example, I thought it might be possible because of the above that Itcl would not load properly when executing package require Itcl from either tclsh or wish. But our build system uses that sort of command a lot when figuring out the consistency of Tcl/Tk/Itcl/Itk/Iwidgets versions, and it appears to be working despite the autotools epa_build not setting rpath properly for certain components (such as Itcl) of Tcl/Tk/Itcl/Itk/Iwidgets. Furthermore, for the PLplot case we set rpath properly for pltcl and plserver, e.g., wine@raven> readelf -d ../install-linux/bin/pltcl |grep -i rpath 0x000000000000000f (RPATH) Library rpath: [/home/wine/newstart/build_script/install-linux/lib:/home/wine/newstart/build_script/install-linux_buildtools/lib:/home/wine/newstart/build_script/install-linux_buildtools/lib/itcl3.4:/home/wine/newstart/build_script/install-linux_buildtools/lib/itk3.3] wine@raven> readelf -d ../install-linux/bin/plserver |grep -i rpath 0x000000000000000f (RPATH) Library rpath: [/home/wine/newstart/build_script/install-linux/lib:/home/wine/newstart/build_script/install-linux_buildtools/lib:/home/wine/newstart/build_script/install-linux_buildtools/lib/itcl3.4:/home/wine/newstart/build_script/install-linux_buildtools/lib/itk3.3] So at least for those PLplot executables, all four of the Tcl/Tk/Itcl/Itk library locations should be found by the run-time loader. Is there some PLplot executable or library where I forgot to set rpath properly? Or would the potential rpath issues for the "package require Itcl" command not occur when just finding the version of Itcl, but deeper use (say like in the pltcl_standard_examples or wish_standard_examples scripts) finally cause issues on some systems? So to figure out why the rpath issues for the epa_build of Tcl/Tk/Itcl/Itk/Iwidgets are affecting PLplot, I need more details about exactly where the PLplot build or test problem is occurring for your platform.
