I don't do much with C, but as a guess it sounds like Legato/EMC should be linking their dynamic libs with an rpath set to avoid the need to put
the path into the system config.

 Yes, this is the only correct solution for this situation. Use -rpath
or LD_RUN_PATH at compile time. Modifying ld.so.conf smacks of the bad
 habit of many Windoze software installers to replace system dlls with
 their own (and break other software in the process).

I disagree. The only correct solution is to fire the engineer(s) that came up with this "solution" and hire someone with more than 2 active neurons.

They have completely jumped the shark.
