-L and -I tell the compiler where to find things in order to build your
application. Using the gnu compiler, -rpath (SUN CC -R) tells the runtime
where to find what it needs:
-Wl,-rpath,<path to >/mysql++-3.0.3/lib
Overly complicated?, you bet. But in a commercial environment, where you
probably don't own the OS, then it's the only way to go. And on your
desktop, where you obviously run root to install mysql++ into /usr/lib64,
the next time you update your OS your going to be moderately put out. (damn,
of course I've been assuming that /usr/lib64 is really an OS directory. If
it's your own concoction, then we are on the same page).
Just my opinion, whatever floats your boat in your world is AOK by me.
