[Gluster-devel] glfsheal test failures

As far as I can tell, yes.  Those end up in /lib64 where they are found
without any special configuration on our part.  Translators are different; we
install those in a different location that the system doesn't already know
about.

The reason loading translators does work is that we explicitly load using
XLATORDIR/whatever.so (see xlator_dynload) and XLATOR_DIR is set to the
correct value at config time.  Any code which loads translators should
follow this example.

It might be interesting to know how your system knows to look for libraries
in /usr/local/lib/glusterfs/3.7dev/xlator/cluster (and BTW /usr/local
implies that what you're building/installing isn't a standard RPM).  Do you
have anything in /etc/ld.so.conf* that would explain it?
