Intel TBB Linking and RPATH

I'd like to use CMake, GTest, and Intel's TBB for a project on linux, and so far I've been able to build without complaint, but the dynamic linking required by TBB has been a bit of an issue for only one of their libraries.

I'm using their CMake functions invoked like so:

set(TBB_ROOT_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/tbb)
set(TBB_BUILD_DIR "tbb_build_dir=${CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}")
set(TBB_BUILD_PREFIX "tbb_build_prefix=tbb")

include(${TBB_ROOT_DIR}/cmake/TBBBuild.cmake)

tbb_build(TBB_ROOT ${TBB_ROOT_DIR} 
          MAKE_ARGS 
              ${TBB_BUILD_DIR} 
              ${TBB_BUILD_PREFIX} 
          CONFIG_DIR 
          TBB_DIR)

find_package(TBB REQUIRED)

When running, I get the error:

error while loading shared libraries: libtbbmalloc_debug.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After Running ldd <whatever_test_executable> I get the following output

During build I can see that CMake (and TBB's TBBBuild function) is adding /home/mrbzapp/test_proj/build/Builds/lib/tbb_debug/ to the rpath, and for most of the linked tbb libs they are using this path, but libtbbmalloc_debug.so.2 is being left out in the cold and it's bringing the whole thing down with it.

What I find completely baffling is that libtbbmalloc_debug.so.2 does exist, and exists alongside the other TBB libraries that are using the rpath set by TBB's functions.

What could I possibly be doing wrong, and what might I have to do in order to make sure all of these libraries are correctly linked at runtime and not just a handful?

    I was able to reproduce this problem, thank you for reporting it. The problem is that libtbbmalloc_proxy_debug.so.2 can't find libtbbmalloc_debug.so.2 As a workaround I can propose you to "source /home/mrbzapp/test_proj/build/Builds/lib/tbb_debug/tbbvars.sh intel64" in your environment and after that execute your application.
