I install libraries into /usr/lib/fw4spl
(fw4spl is the name of my package)

I'm not sure that I need a ld.so.conf snipper, but I'm sure that the software
doesn't work when I don't use it.

I get this error :
./debian/fw4spl/usr/bin/fwLauncher: error while loading shared libraries:
libfwCore.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory


Thank you for your help,
