I'm having problems getting my boost libs to find each other on certain platforms.  We're distributing the boost libs in a non-standard location.  I created a runtime path in my apps that finds the boost libs fine, per ldd, but when a boost lib is dynamically liked to another boost lib in the same location it can't find it.  For instance, libboost_thread needs libboost_atomic, and can't find it, even though it's in the same dir.  On Linux, MacOSX and AIX, they can find each other.  On Solaris and HP-UX, though, they can't.

Boost version is 1_59.  Strangely, we had this working with a previous version of our software on Solaris linked with Boost 1_55.  I don't see the difference.

I tried setting a runtime path of '.' in the boost libs themselves, but it ends up being '.' wherever I am, NOT where the lib is.
