No. Actually /usr/lib is included by default. Anyway, I added /usr/lib 
in /etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig. Even then there are only two files

$ls /usr/lib/libfortranposix.s* -l
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    24 Jul 10 09:36 /usr/lib/libfortranposix.so.0 
-> libfortranposix.so.0.0.0
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 13840 Jul  9 23:30 /usr/lib/libfortranposix.so.0.0.0

I wonder what is happening with libfortranposix.so ?
