I haven't seen (and would not recommend) adding lines in ld.so.conf on
linux or FreeBSD nor ld-elf.so.conf on FreeBSD.

Anyway, -rpath on those systems or -R on solaris (most of system should know
one of them) does what you mentioned - puts the path into executables
somehow. That's why I recommended it ;)
