|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<para>By default, the dynamic loader
|
|
|
+(<filename>/lib/ld-linux.so.2</filename>) searches through <filename
|
|
|
+class="directory">/lib</filename> and <filename
|
|
|
+class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> for dynamic libraries that are needed
|
|
|
+by programs when you run them. However, if there are libraries in
|
|
|
+directories other than <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and
|
|
|
+<filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>, you need to add them to
|
|
|
+the <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename> file for the dynamic
|
|
|
+loader to find them. Two directories that are commonly known to contain
|
|
|
+additional libraries are <filename
|
|
|
+class="directory">/usr/local/lib</filename> and <filename
|
|
|
+class="directory">/opt/lib</filename>, so we add those directories to the
|
|
|
+dynamic loader's search path.</para>
