And one more to spam the list;
Now while ldconfig -r shows gdbm in it, programs that try to find/link to it
cannot do so:
2:38pm Thu Jul 15 1999 on ttyp0 diarmadhi:/home/mistwolf/sms> ldconfig -r | grep gdbm
62:-lgdbm.2 => /usr/local/lib/libgdbm.so.2

gmake: *** [netmush] Error 1
This is really very, very confusing, and none of this was needed in 2.2.8. What
is causing this? How can it be fixed? What am I doing wrong?
