Bug Description

I'm not sure of the right package - it might also depend on the solution.

Anyway, we have a symlink from /usr/lib64 -> /usr/lib, but there is no corresponding /usr/local/lib64 -> /usr/local/lib symlink.

This can be a problem when you install libraries outside the package management system.

We could either add such a symlink, or fix ld.so.conf to have /usr/local/lib64 in chain of directories it looks at.

Testcase is to install fluidsynth from trunk, which then happily calls the right binary, which in turn calls the wrong library to do all the work.
