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

178 and <filename class="directory">/usr/lib64</filename> for dynamic
179 libraries that are needed by programs as they are run. However, if
180 there are libraries in directories other than these, they need to be
181 added to the <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename> file in order
182 for the dynamic loader to find them. Some directories that are commonly
183 known to contain additional libraries are

186 <filename class="directory">/opt/lib</filename>,
