That's what the -R flag is for- specifying where the libraries can be
found at run-time. Solaris also allows you to set LD_RUN_PATH
e.g. our postgresql executables are linked with
"LD_RUN_PATH=/opt/postgresql/lib", which is equiv to
"-R/opt/postgresql/lib":
bash$ ldd -s /opt/postgres/bin/psql
find library=libpq.so; required by /opt/postgres/bin/psql
search path=/opt/postgres/lib (RPATH from file /opt/postgres/bin/psql)
trying path=/opt/postgres/lib/libpq.so
libpq.so => /opt/postgres/lib/libpq.so
...
