+<title>Configuring Dynamic Loader</title>
+
+<para>By default, the dynamic loader
+(<filename>/lib/ld-linux.so.2</filename>) searches through <filename
+class="directory">/lib</filename> and <filename
+class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> for dynamic libraries that are needed
+by programs when you run them. However, if there are libraries in
+directories other than <filename class="directory">/lib</filename> and
+<filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename>, you need to add them to
+the <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename> file for the dynamic
+loader to find them. Two directories that are commonly known to contain
+additional libraries are <filename
+class="directory">/usr/local/lib</filename> and <filename
+class="directory">/opt/lib</filename>, so we add those directories to the
+dynamic loader's search path.</para>
