How to set -R option when compiling

I have been playing with RPATH to try and force the use the -R in the load and it does not seem to work for me.

Can someone help me out? How and what do I need to do to set and where get this to take affect?

Sorry if this is a trivial question but I just do not see the answer.

Thanks
