Richard just made a proper change to teh sources in that the shared libraries
and executables will not refer to the build tree.
Currently, for testing procedues, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set and used, which is
ok for many platforms, except DU....
The shared libraries are created with -rpath. -rpath will override
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If the library does not exist at rpath, it will fall back to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and then defaults....
Now, what will happen if you have a previous version of the shared library
installed on the system and you run the tests - you get the installed one,
not the build one.
Solution for OSF/1 - f the environment variable _RLD_ROOT is set, _RLD_ROOT
will be prepended to all library search paths... I plan to setup in the build
tree a pseudo root heirarchy with /usr/shlib, /usr/lib, /lib, /krb5/lib (or whatever), set to look at the right place....
I will see if other platforms need this...
