"-Wl,-rpath" is used to specify the library path which is used by
the compiled binary at runtime.

On the other hand, "-L" is used to specify the library path which is
used at its compile.

For example, if you compile a binary as follows:

  gcc -L/home/funa/ -lsbml -Wl,-rpath=/usr/local/lib

the gcc will try to find libsbml in /home/funa at the compile, and the
compiled binary/library will look for libsbml in /usr/local/lib at its
execution.

Some platform doesn't support "-Wl,-rpath" option. It depends on the
version of gcc or ld (correct me if I'm wrong).
So try removing -Wl,-rpath in the configure script.

Hope this helps,
