python "import B" fails (B.so depends on libA.so) The problem with the DEC appears to be that it does not honor the augmented RPATH set in B.so which tells where to find libA.so. I'll guess I'll have to resort to the old LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge. If someone knows a better way to work around this DEC deficiency, please let me know. Thanks, Randall
