In my opinion, this is not a bug. autoconf has been handling this the way it currently does for decades. Adding an RUN_PATH has the potentially unwanted side effect that the binary will preferentially use libraries from that directory instead of the system search paths. Additionally, the library locations during build time are frequently different from those used at run time. If you want your library locations fixed at build time, try cmake. rainer --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
