>Description:
ldconfig(8) manpage is unclear about the filenames that will be added to
the hintsfile. It turns out that only files matching lib*.so.[0-9] will
be added to the hints file. This fact is NOT recorded in the manpage.
It took me several days to find out why my library was not added.
>How-To-Repeat:
running ldconfig on the directories filenames not matching lib*.so.[0-9]
will not be added to the hintsfile. The man page does not make this
clear.
>Fix:
Add the following lines to the ldconfig(8) manpage:
line. Blank lines and lines starting with the comment character `#' are
ignored. Filenames must conform to the following pattern in order to be
added to the hints file: lib*.so.[0-9]
