Any reason why rlm_sql_unixodbc.so and rlm_sql_postgresql.so use hardcoded rpaths?

[Stefan Paetow]

Hiya,

This has been flagged to me by one of our development partners. Apparently when the rpath check is added to the RPM build command, the following errors are flagged up for the UnixODBC and PostgreSQL modules:

ERROR   0001: file '/usr/lib64/freeradius/rlm_sql_unixodbc.so' contains a standard rpath '/usr/lib64' in [/usr/lib64]
ERROR   0001: file '/usr/lib64/freeradius/rlm_sql_postgresql.so' contains a standard rpath '/usr/lib64' in [/usr/lib64]

I've tried the standard trick as per http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RPath_Packaging_Draft (i.e. passing --disable-rpath) but only the 'last resort', using chrpath, works.

Is there a specific reason why UnixODBC and PostgreSQL use hardcoded rpaths? Of course, Alan D, fixes are always welcome (and I'm happy to provide those once I figure out how to make them go away). :-)
