Because your system/compiler is broken?  Actually, all those locations
look like builtin defualts (i.e., you don't need to put them in
ld.so.conf).  Anyway, did you try running ldconfig after installing the
libraries?  Though that shouldn't be necessary, assuming you have a
toolchain that supports rpath...

I've always wondered about this... why does dlopen() send sigsegv when
it fails to load a module's dependencies?  Seems kinda lame to me.  I'd
think you'd just get a relocation error and the equivalent of an abort().
