Installed executable cannot find libchronolog_client.so

[fkengun]

Summary

LD_LIBRARY_PATH has to be manually set before running any ChronoLog binaries from the installation directory.

Steps to reproduce

Running ${INSTAL_PATH}/bin/client_admin fails with an error message like this

/home/kfeng/chronolog/Debug/bin/client_admin: error while loading shared libraries: libchronolog_client.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What is the current bug behavior?

Binaries have to be run with LD_LIBRARY_PATH configured properly like this

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/chronolog/Debug/lib ~/chronolog/Debug/bin/client_admin

What is the expected correct behavior?

ChronoLog binaries should be able to run as it is. No additional things need to be set.

Potential cause

RPATH or RUNPATH is not configured correctly. Currently there are lines of messages during make install. It means the RPATH or RUNPATH is set to empty which could be the root cause of this issue.

-- Set runtime path of "/home/kfeng/chronolog/Debug/bin/client_admin" to ""

Potential solution

Set RPATH or RUNPATH using CMake variable CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH might fix it.
