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?

shlib_debug_enable(5)						File Formats Manual					     shlib_debug_enable(5)

NAME
shlib_debug_enable - dynamically enable or disable online shared library debugging support VALUES
Fail Safe Default semantics is disabled Allowed values DESCRIPTION
This tunable dynamically enables (1) or disables (0) the online shared library debugging feature. When this tunable is enabled, shared libraries of a running (active) application can be debugged. Who Is Expected to Change This Tunable? System administrators and developers who want to change the default behavior of Restrictions on Changing Changes to this tunable take effect immediately. There is no need to reboot the system. When Should the Tunable Be Turned On? When there is a need to debug a shared library of a running (active) application, this tunable can be turned on. When this feature/tunable is not enabled, debugging of shared libraries can be done at application start time through the command. See chatr(1). What Are the Side Effects of Turning the Tunable On? If an application which is being debugged for shared libraries is not MPAS (Mostly Private Address Space) executable, then the application will be converted to an MPAS executable type. After the conversion, all rules which apply to regular MPAS executable type does apply to the converted application until the process exits. The rules apply even after being detached from the debugger. When Should the Tunable Be Turned Off? Administrators and/or developers who will not need the online debugging feature of shared libraries. What Are the Side Effects of Turning the Tunable Off? When this tunable is disabled, then online debugging of shared libraries will not be possible beyond the existing hardware break point facility. With hardware break points, only a limited number of breakpoints can be set. What Other Tunables Should Be Changed at the Same Time? None. WARNINGS
All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release specific. This parameter may be removed or have its meaning changed in future releases of HP-UX. Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable parameter values. After installation, some tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values. For information about the effects of installation on tun- able values, consult the documentation for the kernel software being installed.
