HOWTO: add shared libraries to lib path in Linux

Permanent way:

• Create a new file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ called .conf

• Edit the file and add a line per directory of shared libraries (*.so files), it will look something like:

/usr/lib/APPLICATION/lib
Reload the list of system-wide library paths:

• sudo ldconfig

====================================

Temporary way:

• export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/your/lib/path

On Mac, the dynamic library path is $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
