You can look in /etc/ld.so.conf for the list of standard directories that
are searched (and in what order) by the runtime linker. You can also use
"ldd <prog>" to see what libraries (from where) are used by a particular
program.
There are a few gotchas in all of this (rpath being one of them) but
basically the runtime linker will search the list of standard directories
for the shared library then query your LD_LIBRARY_PATH for additional
directories if it needs to.
