| 57 | <para>By default, the dynamic loader
|
---|
| 58 | (<filename>/lib/ld-linux.so.2</filename>) searches through <filename
|
---|
| 59 | class="directory">/lib</filename> and <filename
|
---|
| 60 | class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> for dynamic libraries that are needed
|
---|
| 61 | by programs when you run them. However, if there are libraries in
|
---|
| 62 | directories other than <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and
|
---|
| 63 | <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>, you need to add them to
|
---|
| 64 | the <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename> file for the dynamic
|
---|
| 65 | loader to find them. Two directories that are commonly known to contain
|
---|
| 66 | additional libraries are <filename
|
---|
| 67 | class="directory">/usr/local/lib</filename> and <filename
|
---|
| 68 | class="directory">/opt/lib</filename>, so we add those directories to the
|
---|
| 69 | dynamic loader's search path.</para>
