| Subject: | LD_RUN_PATH/ -R animosity |
In case Perl 5.8.3 was linked w/ a dynamical search path
(like /opt/sfw/lib on SunOS, for instance), extensions which
define there own search path will link w/o errors, but fail to
work, because a runpath appearing in perl -V:lddlflags (ie -R or -rpath)
will cause LD_RUN_PATH to be ignored.
This has been seen on SunOS 5.8 using the system linker but should
also apply to other systems and/or when using the GNU linker, because
according to its documentation, it should have the same precedence
behaviour wrt LD_RUN_PATH and search paths given as arguments on the
commandline.
