Hi Fox,
The rpath option is the solution often used.
The other approach can be seen in Microsoft's Internet Explorer for Unix. A
shell script that sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH and any other necessary environment
variables, and then launches the executable. The "private" libraries are
stashed in a local (to the application) resource subdirectory. For
libraries, the convention is <yourapp>/lib directory.
