As a further example:

  NEEDED      libX11.so.6
  NEEDED      libXext.so.6
  NEEDED      libc.so.6
  SONAME      libXfontcache.so.1
  RPATH       /usr/lib/gcc34:/usr/lib

versus:

  NEEDED      libX11.so.6
  NEEDED      libXext.so.6
  NEEDED      libc.so.6
  SONAME      libXevie.so.1
  RPATH       /home/reed/xorg/lib:/usr/lib/gcc34:/usr/lib


Notice the shared library runtime paths as shown above.

Again the problem is that some libraries do not know where the shared 
libraries are that they need. For example, Xorg doesn't work because 
libXfont.so.1 can't find libfontenc.so.1.
