OS X Shared Libraries

Hi,

I'm fairly new to OS X and I have a basic question regarding shared library handling. I notice that when I run otool -L on a binary that the full path of any shared libraries is returned. Is the full path directly encoded into the executable? Does OS X have a system similar to Linux where the runtime linker searches several system paths for the required libraries? If i compile an application that generates its own libraries and then links it's executable against these libraries the hard coded path will point to the build directory. Obviously this would cause a problem when the binaries and shared libraries are installed into the system path, how is this typically avoided?

Best Regards, Simon.
