-  <para>There are two types of libraries: static and shared.  Shared libraries
-  (usually <filename>libXXX.so</filename>) are loaded into memory from the shared
-  copy at runtime (hence the name).  Static libraries (<filename>libXXX.a
-  </filename>) are actually linked into the program executable file itself, thus
-  making the program file larger.  Quite often, you will find both static and
-  shared copies of the same library on your system.</para>

-  <para>Generally, you only need to install libraries when you are

-  the BLFS book, each package is presented with a list of
-  (known) dependencies.  Thus, you can figure out which libraries you need to
-  have before installing that program.  If you are installing something without
-  using BLFS instructions, usually the <filename>README</filename> or
-  <filename>INSTALL</filename> file will contain
-  details of the program's requirements.</para>
