It's been a pet peeve of customers that the ldaptools can't be run "from
anywhere" without setting SHLIB_PATH.  The "bug" comes up every couple of
months...  Maybe we can link with $ORIGIN?

Here's some doc on using $ORIGIN on HP-UX:

This seems like a good idea.  I thought we used $ORIGIN on Solaris, but I don't
see where that is done in the code (maybe that was only for Directory Server???)

Do you have time to create a patch?

Looks like it's done in mozilla/directory/c-sdk/build.mk for Solaris.  BTW, I
had originally thought this should be done only on HP-UX B.11.23 but it looks
like the patch to support $ORIGIN on B.11.11 has been out since 2003/04/11.  So
on B.11.11 it'll use $ORIGIN if patch PHSS_28436 or later is installed, or else
it'll look in two bogus places before it looks in the regular relative places. 
I believe that's the same behavior as Solaris 8.

The patch looks fine.  I cannot confirm that it works though (I do not have
access to an HP/UX computer).

I've built and tested for $ORIGIN and relative paths on HP-UX B.11.11 on one
host with the dld patch and one without.

[Rich Megginson]

Is there a config test I can do to determine if the linker supports $ORIGIN?  Can I do something like
if test "$OS_RELEASE" = "B.11.11" -o "$OS_RELEASE" = "B.11.23"; then support origin ; fi
?
Preferably something easy like that instead of actually testing the linker directly with a program.

Mark, you can resolve this bug as a dup of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=322576 - the fixes for that bug will also have the $ORIGIN support as well.
