newbie question about /lib
What is the difference between /lib and /usr/lib ? (i.e., why are some libraries in the one and other libraries in the other?) Also, neither is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf Is that because the strings '/lib' and '/usr/lib' are 'built in' as constants in the kernel ? Thanks for helping me understand, mikus

Look at: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html

They are considered as trusted directories and automatically used by ldconfig but no idea on how it's exactly done Gaël

There is a local copy in /usr/share/doc/FHS/fhs-2.3.html - if fhs-...rpm is installed, of course. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDIhXKtTMYHG2NR9URAlyuAJsFi0IuoHvHGgSeKIx9f8LIknq0CACgk4jE dhve+eJH4QBBwBDGyOBjRzI= =fc/B -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
