By default, libraries are located in /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/lib64, /usr/lib and /usr/lib64; system startup libraries are in /lib and /lib64. Programmers can, however, install libraries in custom locations. The library path can be defined in /etc/ld. so.
To check whether the locate utility is installed, open up your terminal, type locate and press Enter . If the package is installed, the system will display locate: no pattern to search for specified . Otherwise, you will see something like locate command not found .
How do I know if a particular library is installed in Linux or not?
For example if I want to see whether the libuuid
library is available on my system, how do I do that?
