Setting -R or LD_RUN_PATH

[moseley]

I'm using xml2-config as so in a configure.in:

        LIBXML2_CFLAGS="`$XML2_CONFIG --cflags`"
        LIBXML2_LIB="`$XML2_CONFIG --libs`"

they then get used in Makefile.am in AM_CPPFLAGS and LIBADD

On one machine I have libxml2 installed locally, so the call to 
xml2-config shows:

  >xml2-config --libs
  -L/home/csc/local/lib -lxml2 -L/lib -lm

But the program will build, but won't run:

  >ldd src/swish-e
        libxml2.so.2 => not found
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x11b000)
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x123000)

This causes questions to the support list -- seems to build fine then 
make check fails.

The fix is

   LD_RUN_PATH=/home/csc/local/lib make

but is there a way to avoid that?  Seems like I've got the path provided 
by xml2-config from -L to use, so why not make it easy on the user and 
set that automatically.
