Is there some arguments to ./configure you can pass to inhibit setting rpath? Otherwise you'll have to munge the upstream build system to get rid of it.

In this case dpkg wouldn't otherwise be able to find the library package to add as a dependency. Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
