Typically, "system" and "packaged" libraries go in /usr/lib, and
"user installed" libraries go in /usr/local/lib or /opt/lib.

Certainly, though, Oracle knows this and has designed their package
to put things in the proper spot.  How *is* the Oracle library
packaged?  In a tarball (a .tar file)?  A .bin file?

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
