No, please. -rpath is evil. It means that you have to have the
libraries in the location specified at compile time.

A much better solution is to fix your runtime loader configuration. On 
Linux, either add the appropriate directories to /etc/ld.so.conf or
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH appropriately.

While I'm on the subject of -rpath, a completely off topic question:

Does anyone know if you can get rid of the -rpath specification from
an existing binary? I use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to specify libXaw3d instead
of the standard libXaw; unfortunately anything that's been compiled
with -rpath ignores it.
