RPATHS in binaries

[Omair Majid]

Hi,

I was poking around the LD_LIBRARY_PATH change in the launchers. Joe
Darcy's blog post [1] was a great resource for this (thanks Joe!).
There's one thing I dont quite get and I was hoping someone could shed
some light on this.

Most of the binary launchers contain RPATHS to the jli lib:

$ readelf --dynamic java | grep RPATH
 0x000000000000000f (RPATH)              Library rpath:
[$ORIGIN/../lib/amd64/jli:$ORIGIN/../jre/lib/amd64/jli]

Is there a reason there is no RPATH entry that points to
$ORIGIN/../lib/amd64/ ?

Thanks,
Omair
