RPath

rpath is a way to tell your computer where it should look for certain files when it is running a program. It works by adding the location of those files to a list of places your computer can look for them. This list is called the rpath, and when your program is run, it will look in each of the places on the list for the needed files. Knowing where to look for the files helps your computer run the program more smoothly.
