Hi all,

A Linux user of my python wrapper lensfunpy reported an issue about 
ldconfig not searching in /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu after 
installing lensfun via apt-get:

https://github.com/neothemachine/lensfunpy/issues/8

I'm no expert on these things which is why I'm asking you guys for help. 
Does anyone have an idea why these things happen? Shouldn't all the 
paths be registered correctly after installing lensfun through apt-get? 
Or am I missing something obvious?

Note that I already have a general suggestion in my README for the 
/usr/local/lib case:

###
If you get the error "ImportError: liblensfun.so.0: cannot open shared 
object file: No such file or directory" when trying to use lensfunpy, 
then do the following:

echo  "/usr/local/lib"  |  sudo tee /etc/ld.so.conf.d/99local.conf
sudo ldconfig

The lensfun library is installed in /usr/local/lib and apparently this 
folder is not searched for libraries by default in some Linux distributions.
###

For the user above the folder however is 
/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. But even for /usr/local/lib I don't 
understand why this is necessary on some systems.

Any advice is appreciated.

Cheers
Maik
