Yes, this is an unfortunate side-effect of the fact that ROS does not
yet support a proper install step.

One solution is to add the argument:   --prefix=`rospack find
opende`/opende, e.g.

rosrun opende opende-config --prefix=`rospack find opende`/opende --libs

The other solution is to use the rospack exports which lets the opende
package do this itself:

rospack export --lang=cpp --attrib=lflags opende


Sorry about this inconvenience.
