I think a good answer is that they shouldn't have to do that.
I just implemented an `include' feature with globbing in ldconfig's
configuration file parsing. (This will be in an unspecified future glibc
rpm coming to you in rawhide in the fullness of time.) I propose that in
future the canonical /etc/ld.so.conf contain just:
include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
imho people should use rpath if they need to install
libraries in non
standard locations..
