* Now this is generally a good thing from the vendor's standpoint (and
* it was, in fact, Xi Graphics, Inc. who first requested it) since they
* don't have to messily edit the /etc/rc file, they can just tack their
* own lib paths onto the end of /etc/ld.so.conf. The question which is
* now raised in my mind, however, is a simple one:
And Xi Graphics seems to have ignored my comment about just using the
existing framework and adding /usr/{local,X11R6}/etc/rc.d/foo.sh to
run ldconfig.sh and any other startup stuff. The -m flag to ldconfig
was added for a reason.
See what the modula-3-lib port does. I don't think an /etc/ld.so.conf
is necessary (much less /usr/local/etc/ld.so.conf). I propose backing
it out.
