414 | time zones listed in <filename

415 | class='directory'>/usr/share/zoneinfo</filename> such as

417 | are not identified by the script but can be used.</para>
|

418 |

419 | <para>Then create the <filename>/etc/localtime</filename> file by

420 | running:</para>

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

437 | class="libraryfile">/lib/ld-linux.so.2</filename>) searches through
|
---|
438 | <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and <filename
|
---|
439 | class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> for dynamic libraries that are
|
---|
440 | needed by programs as they are run. However, if there are libraries in
|
---|
441 | directories other than <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and
|
---|
442 | <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>, these need to be added
|
---|
443 | to the <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename> file in order for the
|
---|
444 | dynamic loader to find them. Two directories that are commonly known
|
---|
445 | to contain additional libraries are <filename
|
---|
446 | class="directory">/usr/local/lib</filename> and <filename
|
---|
447 | class="directory">/opt/lib</filename>, so add those directories to the
|
---|
448 | dynamic loader's search path.</para>
|
---|
449 |
|

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

459 |

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

|
