| 338 | <para>After answering a few questions about the location, the script will
|
|---|
| 339 | output the name of the time zone (e.g.,
|
|---|
| 340 | <emphasis>America/Edmonton</emphasis>). There are also some other possible
|
|---|
| 341 | timezones listed in <filename
|
|---|
| 342 | class='directory'>/usr/share/zoneinfo</filename> such as
|
|---|
| 343 | <emphasis>Canada/Eastern</emphasis> or <emphasis>EST5EDT</emphasis> that
|
|---|
| 344 | are not identified by the script but can be used.</para>
|
|---|
| 345 |
|
|---|
| 346 | <para>Then create the <filename>/etc/localtime</filename> file by
|

| 347 | running:</para>
|

|
|---|
| 349 | <screen><userinput>cp -v --remove-destination /usr/share/zoneinfo/<replaceable><xxx></replaceable> \

|

| 380 | <para>By default, the dynamic loader (<filename
|
|---|
| 381 | class="libraryfile">/lib/ld-linux.so.2</filename>) searches through
|
|---|
| 382 | <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and <filename
|
|---|
| 383 | class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> for dynamic libraries that are
|
|---|
| 384 | needed by programs as they are run. However, if there are libraries in
|
|---|
| 385 | directories other than <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and
|
|---|
| 386 | <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>, these need to be added
|
|---|
| 387 | to the <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename> file in order for the
|
|---|
| 388 | dynamic loader to find them. Two directories that are commonly known
|
|---|
| 389 | to contain additional libraries are <filename
|
|---|
| 390 | class="directory">/usr/local/lib</filename> and <filename
|
|---|
| 391 | class="directory">/opt/lib</filename>, so add those directories to the
|
|---|
| 392 | dynamic loader's search path.</para>
|

| 393 |
|

| 394 | <para>Create a new file <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename> by running the

|---|
| 403 |
|
|---|
| 404 | <para>If desired, the dynamic loader can also search a directory and
|

| 405 | include the contents of files found there. Generally the files in
|

| 406 | this include directory are one line specifying the desired library path.
|
