160    and <filename class="directory">/usr/lib64</filename> for dynamic
161    libraries that are needed by programs as they are run. However, if
162    there are libraries in directories other than these, they need to be
163    added to the <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename> file in order
164    for the dynamic loader to find them. Some directories that are commonly
