Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers /usr/local/lib is not searched by ld-linux.so by default? Post 302477398 by fpmurphy on Saturday 4th of December 2010 11:34:02 PM

Just as /usr/local/bin is used as the default binary install location when you build a binary, /usr/local/lib is commonly used as the default library install location when you build a library. Been that way for many a year.

You are expected to know what you are doing if you build shared libraries. You could have specified another install location when you were building these libraries but you did not. The result was that the libraries were installed in /usr/local/lib.

Either use LD_LIBRARY_PATH or ldconfig to ensure that libraries in /usr/local/lib are made available, or install them in one of the default locations for shared libraries.
