See for example gdalinfo: root@vmuser-VirtualBox:/home/vmuser/Git/vcpkg/installed/x64-linux/tools/gdal# ldd gdalinfo linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffcc0fb3000) libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007fe3a31ae000) libstdc++.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007fe3a2f82000) libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fe3a2d59000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fe3a6b09000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fe3a2d39000) Michael
