Here are more details. I have the -L there as well.
It creates libR.so using a command
like this:
cc -std=gnu99 -shared -fopenmp
-L/usr/home/stephen/sage/work/sage-6.0/local/lib/
-Wl,-rpath=/usr/home/stephen/sage/work/sage-6.0/local/lib
-Wl,-rpath=/usr/local/lib/gcc46 -L/usr/local/lib/gcc46 -o libR.so

-L/usr/home/stephen/sage/work/sage-6.0/local/lib -lf77blas -latlas
-lgfortran -lm -lquadmath -lintl -lreadline -llzma -lrt -lm -liconv
Now -Wl,-rpath is set, so it should find libreadline in
/usr/home/stephen/sage/work/sage-6.0/local/lib. But instead it finds
libreadline in /lib. So later when it does the following compilation to
build R.bin:
gcc -std=gnu99 -export-dynamic -fopenmp
-L/usr/home/stephen/sage/work/sage-6.0/local/lib/
-Wl,-rpath=/usr/home/stephen/sage/work/sage-6.0/local/lib
-Wl,-rpath=/usr/local/lib/gcc46 -L/usr/local/lib/gcc46 -o R.bin Rmain.o
-L../../lib -lR
...it comes up with an error saying that rl_sort_completion_matches
isn't found. And when I do an ldd or "readelf -d" on libR.so, I can see
that it is trying to link to the wrong libreadline, and
rl_sort_completion_matches is only defined in the other libreadline.
