| 337 | <para>By default, the dynamic loader (<filename

| 338 | class="libraryfile">/lib/ld-linux.so.2</filename>) searches through
|
|---|
| 339 | <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and <filename
|
|---|
| 340 | class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> for dynamic libraries that are
|
|---|
| 341 | needed by programs as they are run. However, if there are libraries in
|
|---|
| 342 | directories other than <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and
|
|---|
| 343 | <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>, these need to be added
|
|---|
| 344 | to the <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename> file in order for the
|
|---|
| 345 | dynamic loader to find them. Two directories that are commonly known
|
|---|
| 346 | to contain additional libraries are <filename
|
|---|
| 347 | class="directory">/usr/local/lib</filename> and <filename
|
|---|
