Unless I misunderstand you, that's not correct:

05:04pm obelisk lib$odump -D /local/lib/libz.so | egrep 'RPATH'
                       RPATH: /local/lib
05:05pm obelisk lib$sizer -v
Digital UNIX V4.0D  (Rev. 878); Mon Mar 13 16:49:14 CST 2000

I've been doing this successfully for a long time.

What *is* true, in the context of the original topic, is that at least
through 5.0 the RPATH in a shared library is not used to find shared
libraries that are explictly dlopened by a program.  I had a Compaq
loader engineer explain it to me one time, it's somewhat complex.

They expect to change that behavior in the future, from what he said.
