There seems to be some configure/build issue that sets the rpath of the frysk binaries to the literal string "@RPATH@". $ eu-readelf -d /usr/bin/ftrace | grep -i rpath RPATH Library rpath: [@RPATH@] $ eu-readelf -d /usr/local/frysk/bin/fstep | grep -i rpath RPATH Library rpath: [@RPATH@] Since everything seems to work just fine with this broken RPATH setting the binaries most likely don't need it set at all.
