| 405 | <emphasis>America/Edmonton</emphasis>). There are also some other possible
|

| 406 | time zones listed in <filename

|

| 409 | are not identified by the script but can be used.</para>
|

| 410 |
|

| 411 | <para>Then create the <filename>/etc/localtime</filename> file by

| 428 | <para>By default, the dynamic loader (<filename

|
|---|
| 430 | <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> for dynamic libraries
|
|---|
| 431 | that are needed by programs as they are run. However, if there are
|
|---|
| 432 | libraries in directories other than
|
|---|
| 433 | <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>, these need to be added
|
|---|
| 434 | to the <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename> file in order for the
|
|---|
| 435 | dynamic loader to find them. Two directories that are commonly known
|
|---|
| 436 | to contain additional libraries are <filename
|
|---|
| 437 | class="directory">/usr/local/lib</filename> and <filename
|
|---|
| 438 | class="directory">/opt/lib</filename>, so add those directories to the

| 439 | dynamic loader's search path.</para>
|
|---|

|

| 441 | <para>Create a new file <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename> by running the

| 450 |

| 452 | include the contents of files found there. Generally the files in
|

| 453 | this include directory are one line specifying the desired library path.
|
