Application programs will use whichever libraries they were linked
against at compile time.

use the 'ldd' command to see.

terry@albert:~$ ldd /bin/bash
        libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x4001c000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40069000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4006d000)
        ^^^^ linked against glibc (libc6)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
