Careful about using USE_LDCONFIG with linux ports. With the current ports infrastructure you may wind up running ldconfig on the native ldconfig database (i.e., without -r /compat/linux). As an example, try replacing INSTALLS_SHLIB=3Dyes with USE_LDCONFIG=3Dyes= in x11/linux-xorg-libs/Makefile. Then run make install. It will do this: =2E =2E =3D=3D=3D> Running ldconfig /sbin/ldconfig -m /compat/linux/lib =2E =2E (note the lack of '-r /compat/linux') If you try it, I recommend you do this in a chroot, just in case ;). The root of the cause is that the old way (INSTALLS_SHLIB) uses LDCONFIG_CMD. The new way (USE_LDCONFIG) uses LDCONFIG. Having USE_LINUX_PREFIX causes bsd.port.mk to add -r /compat/linux to LDCONFIG_CMD (and not LDCONFIG). I don't have a patch at the moment, but I would probably start by trying to use LDCONFIG instead of LDCONFIG_CMD in the USE_LINUX stuff in bsd.port.mk.
