libntpc.so

[Hal Murray]

I setup a new machine over the weekend.  Fedora 33, Python 3.9.0

After a build and install, ntpq couldn't find ntp.ntpc

I fixed things by setting up /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ntpd.conf
containing /usr/local/lib64/ and running ldconfig.

The man page for ldconfig says it knows about /lib64 and /usr/lib64,
with no mention of local.

I have a Fedora 32 box, Python 3.8.6, that works without the extra directive 
to ldconfig.
I can't figure out how.

A Debian box has:
  /etc/ld.so.conf.d/fakeroot-x86_64-linux-gnu.conf
  /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libaes_siv.conf
  /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf
  /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu.conf
with a couple of /usr/local/lib in there but no /usr/local/lib64

I don't understand how that works either.

ntpq says:
    import ntp.ntpc

Should that ntp be there?   We aren't installing in xxx/ntp/ any more.
