We don't tell what glibc should do. We configure glibc to do what we want it to do.

121 <para>The install will finish by checking that everything is correctly installed.
122 Unfortunately, it will test for a multilib installation. On x86_64 Pure64 this means
123 it will try to test the non-existent 32-bit loader which has a different name
124 from the 64-bit loader (unlike on other 64-bit architectures). We fool it by
125 creating a symlink to the real loader.</para>

137 <para>Now we can remove this symlink. We also need to correct the <command>
138 /usr/bin/ldd</command> script - if you look at this, you will see it references
139 not only the 32-bit linker, but also /lib64 where it thinks the 64-bit linker
140 is. The following <command>sed</command> will correct this:</para>

143sed -i.bak '/RTLDLIST/s%/ld-linux.so.2 /lib64%%' /usr/bin/ldd</userinput></screen>
144
145 <para>Check the script to make sure the sed worked correctly, then delete
146 the backup.</para>

175 <para>By default, the dynamic loader (<filename
176 class="libraryfile">/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2</filename>) searches through
177 <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and <filename
178 class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> for dynamic libraries that are
179 needed by programs as they are run. However, if there are libraries in
180 directories other than <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and
181 <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>, these need to be
182 added to the <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename> file in order
183 for the dynamic loader to find them. Two directories that are commonly
184 known to contain additional libraries are <filename
185 class="directory">/usr/local/lib</filename> and <filename
186 class="directory">/opt/lib</filename>, so add those directories to the
187 dynamic loader's search path.</para>
