Using rpath is evil and bad. If you install to a location that is not covered by ldconfig (meaning ld.so.conf) then it's just normal that you need LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Thus if that location is of some general use for you, then you can safely add it to ld.so.conf and rerun ldconfig like normal. At least for any packs we will ship and as long as I can stop it, we will not support rpath by default as this causes more problems than it solves. -- Best regards, Kilian
