Tip 18: Shared library not found

Binaries need to load shared libraries at runtime. They are files on your system that provide functions to the
program. Sometimes the program will report that a shared library was not found, and it will abort.
To find which libraries a program needs, you can use the ldd program. It will list all those libraries and those
missing. If you know that a library is installed, maybe you need to add it to the current library path. The path
used to look for shared libraries is in /etc/ld.so.conf. You can modify that file and add any path you want,
then as root run the ldconfig program.
