    <para os="o">The Glibc test suite is highly dependent on certain functions of
    the host system, in particular the kernel. In general, the Glibc test
    suite is always expected to pass. However, in certain circumstances,
    some failures are unavoidable. This is a list of the most common
    issues:</para>

    <title>Configuring Dynamic Loader</title>

    <indexterm zone="conf-ld">
      <primary sortas="e-/etc/ld.so.conf">/etc/ld.so.conf</primary>
    </indexterm>

    <para>By default, the dynamic loader (<filename
    class="libraryfile">/lib/ld-linux.so.2</filename>) searches through
    <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and <filename
    class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> for dynamic libraries that are
    needed by programs as they are run. However, if there are libraries in
    directories other than <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and
    <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>, these need to be
    added to the <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename> file in order
    for the dynamic loader to find them. Two directories that are commonly
    known to contain additional libraries are
    <filename class="directory">/usr/local/lib</filename>,
    <filename class="directory">/usr/local/lib32</filename>,
    <filename class="directory">/usr/local/lib64</filename>,
    <filename class="directory">/opt/lib</filename>,
    <filename class="directory">/opt/lib32</filename>,
    and <filename class="directory">/opt/lib64</filename>,
    so add those directories to the dynamic loader's search path.</para>

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

<screen><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/ld.so.conf &lt;&lt; "EOF"
<literal># Begin /etc/ld.so.conf

/usr/local/lib
