I have no idea what you speak of. I have not set anything related to "RPATH" 
nor do I install shared libraries (I have some "convenience libraries" that 
seem to be just some static .a libraries). But I do expect to be something 
from the my usage of CMake which is why I said I think it's a separate issue 
in the first place.
