Generally, dynamic library paths must be:

  • compiled in with -R or
  • in very standard places ld() defaults to, or
  • be in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH or whatever varaible your ld() prefers.

Sometimes it is simpler to make the app with static libraries, so they are copied in at compile time. Check linkages with "ldd -rsv executable_or_library"
