Why, when you reboot any libraries there get added in /etc/rc?

# Make shared lib searching a little faster.  Leave /usr/lib first if you
# add your own entries or you may come to grief.
if [ -x /sbin/ldconfig ]; then
        _LDC=/usr/lib
        if [ -d /usr/X11R6/lib ]; then _LDC="${_LDC} /usr/X11R6/lib" ; fi
        if [ -d /usr/X386/lib ]; then _LDC="${_LDC} /usr/X386/lib" ; fi
        if [ -d /usr/local/lib ]; then _LDC="${_LDC} /usr/local/lib" ; fi
        echo 'setting ldconfig path:' ${_LDC}
        ldconfig ${_LDC}

Notice that /usr/local/lib is added via ldconfig.
