linux - How to print the ld(linker) search path
What is the way to print the search paths that in looked by ld in the order it searches.

You can do this by executing the following command:
ld --verbose | grep SEARCH_DIR | tr -s ' ;' \\012

gcc passes a few extra -L paths to the linker, which you can list with the following command:
gcc -print-search-dirs | sed '/^lib/b 1;d;:1;s,/[^/.][^/]*/\.\./,/,;t 1;s,:[^=]*=,:;,;s,;,;  ,g' | tr \; \\012

The answers suggesting to use ld.so.conf and ldconfig are not correct because they refer to the paths searched by the runtime dynamic linker (i.e. whenever a program is executed), which is not the same as the path searched by ld (i.e. whenever a program is linked).
