How to print the ld(linker) search path

by

You can do this by executing the following command:

ld --verbose | grep SEARCH_DIR | tr -s ' ;' \\012

gcc passes a few extra -L paths to the linker, which you can list with the following command:

gcc -print-search-dirs | sed '/^lib/b 1;d;:1;s,/[^/.][^/]*/\.\./,/,;t 1;s,:[^=]*=,:;,;s,;,;  ,g' | tr \; \\012

The answers suggesting to use ld.so.conf and ldconfig are not correct because they refer to the paths searched by the runtime dynamic linker (i.e. whenever a program is executed), which is not the same as the path searched by ld (i.e. whenever a program is linked).
