Comment(by anonymous):

 For the record: Solaris has two options: -L defines the link time path, -R
 (or -rpath or -Wl,-R, or whatever your compiler will pass on) defines the
 run time path to search for shared objects. Defining only one of these two
 is usually wrong, normally you have to define both. And in most cases,
 both paths are identical. Typical exceptions are if you link against a
 library you are about to install later, or if you are building for a
 chrooted environment. See

 chapters "Directories Searched by the Link-Editor" and "Directories
 Searched by the Runtime Linker".
