Is this >expected behavior? IMHO, this behaviour is far more sensible that the opposite (which I've run into on another OS). In my case, I had a perl executable and was building DBD::Oracle. The DBD::Oracle module needs to link against Oracle so it needs an RPATH that points into the Oracle library. The logical place for this is the DBD::Oracle module - I shouldn't need to include the Oracle library into the perl RPATH on the off-chance that I might want to load a .so that needs an Oracle .so -- Peter Jeremy [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFFJiq//opHv/APuIcRAtv2AJ41hrsDMYctyipwxiBeCAdbqkOEJQCcDjR9 knAvOOZW1SqlLb3b/RImBEY= =EfrJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
