+For the most part, Linux is just another Unix variant as far as MySQL++
+is concerned. See README-Unix.txt for most of what you need to know
+to build and use MySQL++.
+
+The biggest Linux-specific hurdle is dealing with the dynamic linker,
+ld.so. This program is called by the operating system when loading
+an executable to run. It locates any shared libraries the executable
+uses and links them up so the program will run. If ld.so it can't
+find libmysqlpp, a program using MySQL++ won't run. It always looks
+in /lib and /usr/lib for shared libraries, but by default, MySQL++
+installs in /usr/local/lib when you install from source. You can
+either change the installation directory, or you can clue ld.so in
+to the nonstandard location.
+
+The first thing ld.so looks at when trying to find a library is the
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. This works like the shell's
+PATH variable: a colon-separated list of directories to search.
+This option is best used when you can't use the next option, and
+you can't install in /usr/lib. (Or /lib, yes, but one would never
+install a library like MySQL++ *there*, would one?)
+
+The best way to tell ld.so about a nonstandard library directory is to
+put it in /etc/ld.so.conf or in one of the files included from there.
+Then, run ldconfig as root to rebuild the cache file ld.so uses to
+find libraries in these nonstandard directories.
