Most modern linux systems use elf-format executables. The elf-format
program loader path "/lib/ld-linux.so.2" is hardwired into the executable
and the dynamic libraries are named without path. For example the
c library appears as "libc.so.6" and not as "/lib/libc.so.6" (the link)
nor as "/lib/libc-2.1.3.so" (the actual library).
The link editor ld-linux.so.2 finds the actual library by using the
paths configured in /etc/ld.so.conf. The "ldconfig" command looks
for all dynamic libraries in the directories listed in /etc/ld.so.conf
and puts them all in the database /etc/ld.so.cache
If you are using linux, my best bet is for you to put the directory
names in /etc/ld.so.conf and issue the ldconfig command.
If you are using AIX on RS/6000, then this PLUG list is the wrong place
to post your query.
