Well, yes, it is confusing. I'd like to point you to
man ldconfig
Hopefully, that will resolve matters a bit as far as /etc/ld.so.conf goes. As
far as I can tell, debian doesn't use /usr/local/lib very much. One of things
that might help in explaining matters is checking on the file permissions.
For e.g.,
01:13pm x@y /home
678 $ ls -ld /usr/lib/
drwxr-xr-x 84 root root 36864 Jul 30 14:27 /usr/lib/
01:14pm x@y /home
679 $ ls -ld /usr/local/lib/
drwxrwsr-x 6 root staff 4096 Jun 13 14:07 /usr/local/lib/
HTH,
Andy
