~From my understanding, this is typical behavior on just about any
platform that has software compiled with shared library support. When a
binary file is compiled, during the configuration step there is usually
an option that determines the shard library path. If you wanted to
change the location of shared libraries you'd have to re-run the
configure script with the new library directory and then recompile the
software.
