I think that in general, it's not accepted to install a public library outside this directories. The policies recommend that. > > > Technically you can do it.

My mistake has been that I thought that the package built a public library, where it was a private library. In my mail, talking about public libraries, I understood that: While there's no policy dictating the accepted use of RPATH, it's been a general consensus that RPATH use is discouraged, given the interactions between the above reasons and Debian's way of dealing with libraries and package dependencies. Also, as you said: Currently, the only generally accepted use of this feature in Debian is to add non-standard library path (like /usr/lib/<package>) to libraries that are only intended to be used by the executables or other libraries within the same source package. That 's the current case. Leopold -- -- Linux User 152692 GPG: 05F4A7A949A2D9AA Catalonia ------------------------------------- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
