Version: 1.5.2
OS: IRIX 6.5
Submission from: ralph.rtpnc.epa.gov (134.67.66.44)


Recently tried to rebuild Python, adding in gdbm.  This Setup line is
new for this build:

gdbm gdbmmodule.c -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib32 -rpath
/usr/local/lib32 -lgdbm

The problem is, 1.5.2's makesetup doesn't take RPATH directives, reporting
-rpath as a "bad word".  Note that RPATH directives take different forms
on different OSs:  -rpath on SGI IRIX is -R on Solaris, --rpath on FreeBSD,
etc.
A provision should be made for RPATH options as they are used to avoid the 
need for LD_LIBRARY_PATH hacks.

--- Makefiles ---
bad word -rpath in gdbm gdbmmodule.c -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib32
-rpath /usr/local/lib32 -lgdbm
*** Error code 1

Thanks,

Randall
