I think it's considered a bug, although AFAIK Policy doesn't explicitly forbid rpath. Junichi Uekawa writes "To remove -rpath in the upstream level, it is usually non-invasive to request upstream to special-case /usr/lib, to not add -rpath.": http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/libpkg-guide.html If avifile-config is a shell script (I haven't checked), it shouldn't be too hard to submit a patch for that. > And while I'm at it, what would be the best way around if > `something-config --libs` gives rpath? `something-config --libs | sed 's/-Wl,-rpath,[^[:space:]]*//g'` would be the first thing I tried. regards, -- Kevin B.
