/etc/ld.so.conf, and note that adding "/usr/local/lib" should go at the
end of the file, if *at all*.  I never quite understood the fascination
people have within adding directories almost ad-hoc into this file.
It's potentially dangerous.

Consider if you will that /etc/ld.so.cache contains a compiled list of
directories that are searched for libraries and an ordered list of
candidate libraries.  This is what the ldconfig(8) command does.  But of
course, some people have more than one copy of libraries installed --
and invariably this is bad.  Ideally, I would recommend setting
LD_LIBARRY_PATH instead.
