I currently have .so files (libraries as far as my current 'nix understanding goes) in */lib directories, which after modifying /etc/rc.conf's ldconfig_paths and it's a.out counterpart do not appear in ldconfig -r. What gives? I also created two files in /etc, namely ld.so.conf and ld-elf.so.conf with these contents: [ld.so.conf] /usr/lib/compat/aout /usr/X11R6/lib/aout /usr/local/lib/aout [ld-elf.so.conf] /usr/lib /usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/local/qt/lib I try to rehash (as root) the hints files with these command syntaxes: ldconfig -R -elf /etc/ld-elf.so.conf and yet it does not appear to rehash everything that's in the directories... All information is welcome, as I am slowly losing it... (Been messing with this for over two weeks now, and haven't made progess, ughh, sucks =P ) thanks in advance, --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven It's a Dance of Energy, asmodai(at)wxs.nl when the Mind goes Binary...
