Try replacing -Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker /export/home/pegasus_home/lib with this -Wl,-rpath,/export/home/pegasus_home/lib It sounds like they should translate to the same thing, but this has always worked for me.

I guess a "-L" prefix was missed in front of /export/home/pegasus_home/lib. Perhaps you can post the final linking command? Cheers, Srikanth Madani
