I need to install a dynamic library for a program I need to compile and install. I have several questions that I couldn't get answered from th handbook or the website... 1) Where should the library file go? /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib? 2) Do I just need to copy the file there? Or do I need to run another command to tell the linker about this new library? (ldconfig maybe?) Any help or just general tips would be great. If this was in the handbook and I just missed it a link would be appreciated too.
