What about things like -Wl,-rpath=/tmp ? That one is particularly egregious and, as Casper mentioned, there are other ways of getting stupid RPATHs. I've seen a fair number of them :) Would it be useful to check to see if and rpath directory is not writable by the someone other than the uid/euid? Of course, it does nothing for an RPATH that goes over NFS. The Fedora packaging guidelines forbid the use of rpath completely which is beginning to look more and more attractive. jch -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iF4EAREIAAYFAlTtwaYACgkQRQu7fpQvo8ihGAD/fppL/PSXpLep2TVz4Eh5G/ch NxyTZXDIpXs0DAZTNuAA/RDQ7KBXT/43McHtHMHKFPlMWGnjEEkaAZ8MNQcle0Cs =mnPH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
