How do I know how ldd resolved the dependency

For a dependency identified by ldd, how do I know whether it used the binary's RPATH or the environment's LD_LIBRARY_PATH ?

Assuming Linux, run like so:

env LD_DEBUG=files,libs /path/to/executable

The output will tell you all you want to know: what the loader search path is when looking for various libraries, and why.
