Placed library in /usr/lib, but ldconfig doesn't put it in cache
I'm starting a project that requires an external shared library third-party.so.
I've placed it in /usr/lib. However, when I run sudo ldconfig -v, it's not listed.
ldconfig -p | grep third-party.so proves that it wasn't added to the cache.
Does this mean that there is something wrong with the library? Or am I missing some detail? I've run readelf on it, and it didn't detect any surprises. Running file /usr/lib/third-party.so returns:
/usr/lib/third-party.so: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64,
version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped

-v should work. It is possible as the manual states that the library has not sufficient information to be processed automatically.

An older colleague of mine took a look and gave the solution: the .so must have a lib prefix:
libthird-party.so
