[wxperl-users] Setting an rpath

[John R. <jr...@ce...>]

I'm trying to get wxPerl 0.20 working with an alternate installation of 
wxWidgets (2.5.2, prefix = /usr/local/wxPython-2.5.2) on my laptop 
(Mandrake 10.0).  I set $WX_CONFIG to the right version and run perl 
Makefile.PL.  The includes and libs all look fine during the build, but 
at the end it won't run because of a bad symbol in Wx.so.  Ldd reveals 
that Wx.so isn't linked to the 2.5.2 library, but to the 2.5.3 library 
(prefix = /usr/local).  I've tried setting extra-cflags to 
-Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/wxPython-2.5.2/lib and 
LDDLFLAGS="-rpath,/usr/local/wxPython-2.5.2/lib".  Neither worked.  
What's the right incantation?
(Of course it would be really nice if MakeMaker could be coerced into 
getting the prefix from wx-config and using that...)
