If scons check really needs chrpath, it should bail with a sensible error 
message rather than testing with the wrong library which gives obscure error 
messages, or worse, actually works when the new library introduced a bug that 
scons check should have uncovered.

I just reread various parts of build.txt.  There are several places that say 
run scons check.  I didn't find a place that says you have to have chrpath 
installed if you want to run scons check.  There is even a section about how 
to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

------

But I thought the plan for no chrpath was for scons check to use the local 
libraries and scons install to relink to use wherever they get installed.

How hard would it be to add a switch so scons check could check the post 
install code?
