Is /lib > /usr/lib %{libdir}" correct? Or should it be something else? I probably should have mentioned... Here are the docs on sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec (http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/libtool/libtool_71.html): Variable: sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec Expression to get the run-time system library search path. Directories that appear in this list are never hard-coded into executables. But I'm not quite following what needs to be done or how it should be handled.
