The 0.17.5 release of OpenVRML changes the --disable-gecko-rpath
configure flag that was added in 0.17.3 to --enable-gecko-rpath. In
other words, the -rpath flag no longer gets added by default.
The motivation for this is that Linux distributions appear to be moving
toward configurations where the dynamic linker knows about the location
of the Gecko runtime libraries. In such cases, the -rpath flag is
unnecessary (and can introduce complications).
For configurations where the dynamic linker does *not* know about the
location of the Gecko runtime libraries, OpenVRML should be configured
with --enable-gecko-rpath. In most such scenarios, configure should be
able to figure out the appropriate -rpath argument to apply. Where it
cannot, the precious variable GRE_PATH should be set to the location of
the Gecko runtime libraries at configure time.
