Ah. Thanks -- that worked. I didn't think that would work when -rpath  
was used -- I guess I should have checked :)

I see. But is there any support functionality for this sort of thing?  
Any way of finding a platform-independent (sort of) environment  
variable, for example?

It seems a bit "icky" to use Autotools, and then to slap on an if  
statement to choose between DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH...  
(I guess this might be in the docs, though. I'll have another look  
there.)

Thanks!
