Linking to a shared library
I'm trying to get Valgrind to work with an openmpi application in OS X. However I want to hardcode the path to a shared library called libmpiwrap-amd64-darwin.so into my application so that it is available at runtime. In Linux this is relatively simple, I would just add the option -Wl,"-rpath=/PATH_TO_LIB_FILE" to my compiler (mpicc). This doesn't work in OS X however. How can I hardcode the path into my executable?

libaio

libaio(3LIB)							Interface Libraries						      libaio(3LIB)

NAME

       libaio - asynchronous I/O library

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -laio [ library... ]

DESCRIPTION

       Historically, functions in this library provided asynchronous I/O operations. This functionality now resides inlibc(3LIB)

       This  library  is  maintained  to  provide  backward compatibility for both runtime and compilation environments. The shared	 object is
       implemented as a filter on libc.so.1. New application development need not specify -laio.

INTERFACES

       The shared object libaio.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object inter-
       faces.

       aiocancel		     aioread
       aiowait			     aiowrite
       assfail			     close
       fork			     sigaction

       The following interfaces are unique to the 32-bit version of this library:

       aioread64		     aiowrite64

FILES

       /lib/libaio.so.1       shared object

       /lib/64/libaio.so.1    64-bit shared object

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
