Do you know if my example entry above is correct? It doesn't appear to
work as I placed a printf statement to print out the rPath entries in
kimageio.cpp but the first puts works while no entries get printed for
paths being added by lt_dladdsearchdir():

KImageIOFactory::KImageIOFactory() : KSycocaFactory( KST_KImageIO )
{
  _self = this;
  if (m_str)
  {
     // read from database
     (*m_str) >> mReadPattern >> mWritePattern >> rPath;
     if (!formatList)
     {
        formatList = new KImageIOFormatList();
        lt_dlinit(); // Do this only once!
        // Add rPaths.
puts ("a");
        for(QStringList::Iterator it = rPath.begin();
            it != rPath.end(); ++it) {
           lt_dladdsearchdir( (*it).ascii());
printf ("lt_dladdsearchdir: %s", (*it).ascii());
        }
     }
     load();

BTW, once I am able to set a global rPaths in
~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals and having fixed a bug in ltdl.c
regarding loading of dependency libraries recently reported on the
libtool mailing list, it should not be necessary to set either
LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH under Solaris and, methinks, any
other OS that libtool's ltdl supports.
