loading the native libraries from standard lib repository like/usr/lib in Linux

[IAmJustAQuestion]

in Linux:
the efcore and Microsoft.Data.Sqlite use native library libe_sqlite.so.
it looks for it in a specific predefined path: "runtimes/linux-x64/native/libe_sqlite3.so" relative to its folder.
which results in multiple libe_sqlite.so files in a single application.
I want to put the native file in linux standard system lib repository like /usr/lib.
I also have PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environmental variables configured.
but still the program looks for the native lib in each own relative path.

Is it possible for the Microsoft.Data.Sqlite and efcore to look in /usr/lib for the native file or at least search in the path defined in environmental variables for the libe_sqlite3.so ?

I couldn't find any specific dllimport in the code for this library.
I understand that the current way exist to support different operating system, but i only need linux64.

Thank you in advance.

@ericsink Is this something you have guidance on?

SQLitePCLRaw can use the "system SQLite" by using "provider.sqlite3". I believe this would do what @IAmJustAQuestion is looking for, referencing whatever SQLite library is provided by the Linux distro.

Using a special provider instead of a bundle package is a bit of extra work, but quite doable.

However, for this particular case, the bad news is that I am not currently publishing a package for provider.sqlite3. The provider is built but never published by itself. @bricelam has already pointed this out at ericsink/SQLitePCL.raw#325 , the priority of which just went up a notch.

Thanks @ericsink! Closing this as external as I don't think there is anything to do on the EF/ADO.NET side.
