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

432 | class="libraryfile">/lib/ld-linux.so.2</filename>) searches through
|
---|
433 | <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and <filename
|
---|
434 | class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> for dynamic libraries that are
|
---|
435 | needed by programs as they are run. However, if there are libraries in
|
---|
436 | directories other than <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and
|
---|
437 | <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>, these need to be added
|
---|
438 | to the <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename> file in order for the
|
---|
439 | dynamic loader to find them. Two directories that are commonly known
|
---|
440 | to contain additional libraries are <filename
|
---|
441 | class="directory">/usr/local/lib</filename> and <filename
|
---|
442 | class="directory">/opt/lib</filename>, so add those directories to the
|

443 | dynamic loader's search path.</para>
|

444 |

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

454 |

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