Isn't -rpath a libtool option? I didn't use libtool in my patch. I've
started using Autotools a few weeks and haven't got to libtool yet - I'm
still in autoconf :-). Anyway, is that the meaning of -rpath? I thought
it just tells libtool where your library will be installed, not where to
find others.

OK.

Unfortunately Lua doesn't have that option, but libtool is in my todo
list. Thanks for the suggestions.
