There are probably a bunch of such libraries that you can rely on (and
are always found at the same place), and a bunch that can be easily
installed if not standard (and again, found at some known place).
It's the same as Linux (replace "same place" by "found by the standard
.so search process") and Windows (with less available libraries, as
usual).
