Thanks @Martin_Guenther and @de-vri-es for your insights and comments. @Martin_Guenther I really liked the `env`-based method. I've never fully understood how `env` tag is deprecated but is still referenced in the documentation. Does your method work on *Kinetic*? I've seen the wrapper script method mentioned by @de-vri-es in other projects. I think I will go with that solution for now. The downside is running any node via `rosrun` CLI is going to be a hassle for end users. > In short, my view boils down to this: maintainers / developers shouldn't mess with RPATHs, but users/packagers can have valid reasons. Of course you may be both at the same time, but you should still keep the separation in mind since other users/packagers may not want an RPATH in the installed targets.
