The ELF spec says what is the RPATH, but nothing about the dynamic linker Use the rpath in library search path. Other references are not so clear. The only reference (apart from glibc sources) I found is http://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue where seems clear to use the executable's Rpath as searching path for needed libraries. > -mike > _______________________________________________ uClibc mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/uclibc
