locate <lib>
ldconfig -v >libs.txt
locate will search for <lib>
ldconfig -verbose will output all linked libs to a file called libs.txt in
this instance.
The command 'find' could be used but its much slower and is not realy suited
for your purpouse.
As a command line example for Xext we would presume it would be in
/usr/X11/lib or almost certanly in /usr/X!!!! an example would be;
find /usr/X11/ -name Xext
