/etc/ld.so.conf: Configuration for the shared library loaders

''/etc/ld.so.conf'' lists the directories that should be search by the ''ldconfig'' program while building the /etc/ld.so.cache file which allows dynamically linked binaries under Linux (and other forms of UNIX) to find their shared object (*.so) files.

For more details try reading the man pages for ''ld.so'', ''ldconfig'' and/or ''ldd'' (the dynamic link dump/display utility).

It may be necessary to add directory names (one per line) to this file when installing shared libraries for system-wide use (under /usr/local/lib or /opt/lib for example).
