i ran into a problem while working on a shared libaray
and trying to compile some programs without explicit
linking of the lib dependencies.
the problem was that while ld.so / ldd would pick up
the lib that was in /usr/local/lib (as configured in /etc/ld.so.conf);
ld would try to link to the on in /usr/lib.
checking in the man pages, indeed ld and ld.so search for libraries
in a diffrent order. imho this is broken and ld should check
/etc/ld.so.conf before checking in /usr/lib and /lib
man ld.so
lists the order to look for libs as:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/etc/ld.so.cache
/usr/lib
/lib
while 'man ld' lists:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
The default directories, normally /lib and /usr/lib.
/etc/ld.so.conf
