 +  * Most programs on Linux use common system libraries.
 +  * These can be statically linked into the program at compile-time - more disk, more memory, slower.
 +  * Or can be dynamically loaded at runtime (shared libraries) - shared memory, smaller disksize, faster.
 +  * //ldd// can be used to display required shared libraries for an executable
 +  * Dynamically linked executables are examined at runtime by the shared object dynamic linker, //ld.so//
 +  * //ldconfig// reloads shared library paths from /etc/ld.so.conf to update binary cache /etc/ld.so.cache
 +  * $LD_LIBRARY_PATH env variable can also be used
