rpath used in some libraries but not others

As a further example:
NEEDED libX11.so.6
NEEDED libXext.so.6
NEEDED libc.so.6
SONAME libXfontcache.so.1
RPATH /usr/lib/gcc34:/usr/lib
versus:
NEEDED libX11.so.6
NEEDED libXext.so.6
NEEDED libc.so.6
SONAME libXevie.so.1
RPATH /home/reed/xorg/lib:/usr/lib/gcc34:/usr/lib
Notice the shared library runtime paths as shown above.
Again the problem is that some libraries do not know where the shared
libraries are that they need. For example, Xorg doesn't work because
libXfont.so.1 can't find libfontenc.so.1.
