I am building a C++ application that uses Intel’s IPP library. This library is installed by default in /opt and requires you to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH both for compiling and for running your software (if you choose the shared library linking, which I did). I already modified my configure.ac/Makefile.am so that I do not need to set that variable when compiling, but I still can’t find the shared library at run-time; how do I do that?

I’m compiling with the -Wl, -R/path/to/libdir flag using g++

Update 1:
Actually my binary program has some IPP libraries correctly linked, but just one is not:

$ ldd myprogram
linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fffa93ff000)
libippacem64t.so.6.0 => /opt/intel/ipp/6.0.2.076/em64t/sharedlib/libippacem64t.so.6.0 (0x00007f22c2fa3000)
libippsem64t.so.6.0 => /opt/intel/ipp/6.0.2.076/em64t/sharedlib/libippsem64t.so.6.0 (0x00007f22c2d20000)
libippcoreem64t.so.6.0 => /opt/intel/ipp/6.0.2.076/em64t/sharedlib/libippcoreem64t.so.6.0 (0x00007f22c2c14000)
[...]
libiomp5.so => not found
libiomp5.so => not found
libiomp5.so => not found

Of course the library is there:

$ locate libiomp5.so
/opt/intel/ipp/6.0.2.076/em64t/sharedlib/libiomp5.so

    As suggested by Richard Pennington, the missing library is not used directly by my application, but it is used by the shared libraries I use. Since I cannot recompile IPP, the solution to my problem is to add -liomp5 when compiling, using the -R option for the linker. This actually adds the rpath for libiomp5.so fixing the problem!
