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] >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
