|---|
| 434 | <para>By default, the dynamic loader (<filename
|
|---|
| 435 | class="libraryfile">/lib/ld-linux.so.2</filename>) searches through
|
|---|
| 436 | <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and <filename
|
|---|
| 437 | class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> for dynamic libraries that are
|
|---|
| 438 | needed by programs as they are run. However, if there are libraries in
|
|---|
| 439 | directories other than <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and
|
|---|
| 440 | <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>, these need to be added
|
|---|
| 441 | to the <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename> file in order for the
|
|---|
| 442 | dynamic loader to find them. Two directories that are commonly known
|
|---|
| 443 | to contain additional libraries are <filename
|
|---|
| 444 | class="directory">/usr/local/lib</filename> and <filename
|
|---|
| 445 | class="directory">/opt/lib</filename>, so add those directories to the
|
|---|
| 446 | dynamic loader's search path.</para>
