No, you're not.

But can't we use the installed libraries for the commands used during=20
installation?

Another option: build those tools only with RPATH to the build tree, then=20
relink them (and only them) during installation. This requires a full libra=
ry=20
list during linking: e.g., "-lkio -lkdeui -lkdecore", not just "-lkio".=20
Doesn't CMake already do that?

Maybe an even better option: set LD_LIBRARY_PATH when running uninstalled.=
=20
That variable overrides RUNPATH and any distribution not using that (read:=
=20
using RPATH only) should be shot in the head. DT_RUNPATH has been available=
=20
for more than 5 years.
