Although that is a certain possibility, I'd just prefer the program use argv[0] and fnsplit() to find the path that the executable resides in. In other words, system shared libs go in one directory on the system, and an app's own libs either stay in the app directory, and the app knows that they're there, or else they are put in a SEPARATE lib dir.
