If you got sudo, sure
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /usr/lib
I was gonna come in here and say "Joe Biden" but i couldn't figure out how to turn it into a reference to the government spying on people.
Someone needs to watch some Snowden.

There ma, I did it ☺️.
You forgot math.h
And glibc.
I don't know when I'll next get the opportunity to ask this, so
How do people pronounce this: "gee lib cee" or "glib cee"?
I have the same question about clang
idk what the official pronunciation is, but i say "gee lib cee" and "clang" (like the onomatopoeia)

And liboutofhere
Having maintained Linux systems for over a decade, I instantly distrust anyone who claims they understand Linux regardless of what they say next.
I have 20 years of Linux experience. I tell people 'I know a few things.'
Would never say I know everything or understand everything though.
Just like an xkcd comic I expect to see someone reply that has 30 years experience or something.
I recently tried to compile an Raspberry pi image. I have no idea what to do when an error occurs. And I am a software developer who should at least have an idea. However goggle helps
No libs on my system, only leftists allowed 😤😤😤
Name em?
find / -type f -perm -a=x -exec ldd {} 2>/dev/null \;
It solves the problem but you get several megabytes of output, better pipe that into a file and do some filtering and finish with sort -u

Why would you want dynamic linking? Afraid you will change your mind?
This seems really cool!
But dynamic linking saves space AFAIK
It also makes updating easier. When a lib has a bug it can be fixed by updating one package. If every application on your system was statically linked, each one of these would have to be updated individually.
But then you definitely wouldn't have errors with different apps requiring different versions of the same library.

That's why libfoo.so.1.2.3, libfoo.so.1.2.4, libfoo.so.1.3.9, etc. exist. Flatpak also exists. Just link to a specific version of a freedesktop.org Runtime.
But dynamic linking saves space AFAIK
Yes, it does and while I'm not a pedant about saving every possible byte in a time of terabyte SSDs, static linking everything is just insanely wasteful.
Why would you want dynamic linking?
Because static linking everything sucks.

Nice try, FBI
thats the spirit
pkg-config --list-all
The bar is too low
Praise be pkg-config
Why is Lib capitalized when Linux is case sensitive and Lib files aren't a thing?
Ha jokes on you! I just accidently deleted my bootloader!
xbps-query -l | grep -i 'lib'
Hello fellow Void user ☺️.
Pfff easy lib@, lib32@, lib64@, libx32@
That would be just me.

Reminds me of an interview i was in. I was like, this isn't even in my job description... 7 interviews later. Come to find out, they were HAND DEPLOYING Linux servers to try to scale for double of their user base. I feel like I dodged a bullet.

ls -R /usr/lib/
Easy
We clearly need a "Periodic Table Song", but for libs. 😅

We're going to be here a while.
