The answer
Man, that was fast. This list is great.
crle
To quote one response,
use crle to update /var/ld/ld.config. For example to add
/usr/local/lib you would run:
crle -u -l /usr/local/lib
Then run crle without options to make sure the runtime
linking environment has been updated. This will allow you
to not rely on LD_LIBRARY_PATH and will make the library
available to all users with the variable.
