g++, RH 2.1 and rpath

[Ajay Bansal]

If I use rpath, do I still need to use -L for specifying library search
paths?

-rpath, as you found out, is a flag to the linker, not to the compiler.
You can get the compiler to pass flags to the linker using the -Wl,
option: -Wl,-rpath,/home/thirdparty/lib, or -Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker
/home/thirdparth/lib.

BTW, what's RH 2.1?
