Bzzt. Libtool's way to list additional run paths is not -rpath, but -R.
Yes, incredibly smart, I know, but we can't change it now. -rpath is to
say "the library I'm creating is to be installed later in this
directory".
So use -R, with or without following space. With multiple paths, use -R
path1 -R path2. But even better if you don't use it at all; you should
never need it to link against libtool libraries (those where an .la file
is present).
If you need to specify a way that is both portable to libtool and a GNU
binutils ld-using compiler, then use -Wl,-rpath -Wl,$(libdir). Of
course that breaks for some (few) non-GCC compilers (because they don't
understand -Wl), and many non-GNU linkers (because they use something
other than -rpath, or don't allow multiple instances of -rpath but need
one flag with colon-separated optarg, or so).
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Ralf
