Has the idea of putting the infrastructure in place to allow a full pathname
to be fed to DT_SONAME been totally killed?

That is the one remaining issue I have right now.

I think we should put the infrastructure in place, and allow the UnixWare
and SCO OpenServer ports use it for now. (both of those have no ld.so.conf
/ ldconfig type mechanism).

Thanks,
LER

What makes you think you need new infrastructure? The HPUX port has
used a full-path rpath for years.

The original patch added rpath only for libpq and a few other places.
Larry, I think you should submit a patch that follows what HPUX does. I
think you only need to modify the unixware portion of Makefile.shlib. I
think the original objection was having to put stuff in libpq/Makefile.

Kean Johnston seemed to think we needed some patches...

I'll look again when I return from Las Vegas on Friday.
