Thanks.  I didn't know about chrpath.  That helps a lot. :)

It looks like the libs are getting packed up (I can see my 'make install' step 
putting files in the right place, and autopackage gives me a warning about 
how libQtGui.so.4 dynamically links to libXrender, which is fine).  However, 
when I attempt to install the .package, the libs are not copied.

All lib files are under "lib/barracuda"

My apspec has this:

[Install]
# Put your installation script here. See the quickstart guide on
# the website for an API cheat-sheet
installExe bin/*
installLib lib/*
installData share/*

I get this at package install time:

objdump: Warning: 'lib/barracuda' is not an ordinary file

Is there a trick?

Thanks,
