Hello.

You may take a look at
https://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus/FPC_Libraries.

To resume:

If you use "external" - statically loading a dynamic library:
The most common is in /lib or /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib.

If you use "Loadlibrary()" - dynamically loading a dynamic library:
In the directory of your choice if you use the full path of the
library,
or, if you only use the library name, the most common is in /lib or
/usr/lib or /usr/local/lib.
