openssl: libs don't contain an RPATH value

[zebulon501]

Using readelf on the shared library provided by OpenSSL, no RPATH value is shown. This will lead to some wrong dependencies (using libs in /lib and /usr/lib in place of the intended ones).

Why should OpenSSL libs have a RPATH value?
Shared libs are loaded depending on the binary RPATH value, aren't they?

Found some references here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rpath

An interesting part is -z nodeflib linker option to prevent library loading from /lib and /usr/lib
Also it says that the library path is first looked in the binary rpath value.

[zebulon501]

If you use -z nodeflib, you'll lose libc.so, with is quite useful IMHO.

OpenSSL shall have the path to the libraries it uses:
DS408> /lib/ld.so.1 --list /usr/local/transmission/lib/libssl.so
libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => /lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 (0x6fe02000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x6fddf000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x6fc81000)
/lib/ld.so.1 (0x2062f000)

If any of its dependency is not satisfied by the executable, it has to load it by itself.

In that particular case, it doesn't do any harm at the end, as there is not dependency outside of the standard path.

Let's close it.
