155 <para>By default, the dynamic loader (<filename

[f32f537]158 <filename class="directory">/lib64</filename>,
[6de5a22]159 <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>,
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
[bf8c11f]163 added to the <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename> file in order
[a0418f7]164 for the dynamic loader to find them. Some directories that are commonly
[bf8c11f]165 known to contain additional libraries are
166 <filename class="directory">/usr/local/lib</filename>,
167 <filename class="directory">/usr/local/lib64</filename>,
168 <filename class="directory">/opt/lib</filename>,
169 and <filename class="directory">/opt/lib64</filename>,
