Hi,

Does anyone know how I can get the system to see new libraries I have in
/usr/local/lib? - I've installed a number of ports - and now when I go to
compile up software it fails to find things like the ttf (freetype) library,
but will find others (like the gd library)... Yet in /usr/local/lib I have
listed:

libttf.a
libgd.a

I've looked at the man page for ldconfig, and tried running:

ldconfig -aout -v -R
ldconfig -elf -v -R

In a vain attempt to get it to re-scan the directory, but it doesn't seem to
work... Can anyone offer any more info / suggestions? I've checked things
through and it's definitely failing at the linking stage (i.e. it can find all
the headers etc. it wants)

I'm using FreeBSD 3.1 with this (i.e. ELF & AOUT libraries)

-Kp
