That's the shared library cache. Unlike Windows, Linux doesn't go
around looking for the appropriate DLLs when a program loads. It
maintains a cache. The directories to scan are defined in
/etc/ld.so.conf (have you put /usr/local/lib in there yet?) and
the cache is refreshed by running /sbin/ldconfig.

BTW, must you be pompous enough to announce the start of your own
message?
