In linux (like ubuntu), I set LIBRARY_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH in my bash.bashrc file. But it seems that ld command does not search for that path. I run '$ ld -l --verbose' and it only search for default paths defined in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf Why this happened? If I have to add -L option every time I compile, why $LIBRARY_PATH is needed? Or did I miss something? Thanks.

LIBRARY_PATH is not used by the tool chain.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not used by ld, but by the dynamic linker/loader ld.so.
