Libraries

They are somehow a pain to manage...

• Package installed libraries are in /usr/lib

• Self-compiled are in /usr/local/lib

• Libraries are search according to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

  • If not set, then /etc/ld.so.config is considered

• ldconfig -p lists all libraries found

  • Can be greped to check is library was found

• ldconfig -v shows errors etc

• /usr/include also contains some stuff
