Specify runtime path with mex

What is the correct syntax for including runtime path with mex? With gcc, the syntax is "gcc -Wl,-rpath,dir1:dir2:etc". When I use same syntax as

mex -cxx -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/lib ...

I get an error that says "Error: Unexpected Matlab operator" at "/" which starts the string "/path/to/lib".

Thanks.

The parser doesn't always give you what you expect when you include all of your inputs on the command line like you have shown. To be sure of your inputs, use the function form of mex instead:

mex('-cxx','-Wl', etc...)

I would recommend separating out the compiler and linker flags and pass them into MEX using something like:

   mex -v CFLAGS="\$CFLAGS -cxx -WI" LDFLAGS="\$LDFLAGS -rpath,/path/to/lib" mymexfile.c
