default location of libs in dlopen

Hi

Where is the default location of libs to search, when we specify any lib in dlopen function.
And if we want to specify a custom location, how will we do it?

thanks.

The location of libraries is specified by the linker at the time the file is linked.
Some environments support a SHLIB_PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH envionment variable - when you link with +s.

This means dlopen will use /usr/lib first, then search through the directories speficed in the environment variable.

try
Code:
man ld

and search for +s or PATH
