Setting environment variables for libraries

[Tyler Aviss]

I believe you can just add a custom config to /etc/ld.so.conf.d (gee,
everything seems to be going with directory-includes these days).

Something like

/etc/ld.so.conf.d/custom.conf, containing


# Begin custom.conf
/usr/local/lib
# End custom conf

(and then run "ldconfig" after)
