Set Environment Variable
Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH variables is useful when building or executing other sources.
When copying or creating a symbolic link the library installed under /usr/local, it is recommended to set it.
console
> vim ~/.bash_profile
※ For CentOS / Ubuntu
.bash_profile
... export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH ...
If you want to load shared libraries in the system, create a file which is wrote "/usr/local/lib" under /etc/ld.so.conf.d.
console
> sudo echo /usr/local/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/usr_local_lib.conf > sudo ldconfig > sudo ldconfig -v
