I would suggest that make sure that your /etc files are up to date
because they take care of ldconfig and aout and elf libraries at
the same time.
ldconfig_paths="/usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib"
# shared library search paths
ldconfig_paths_aout="/usr/lib/compat/aout /usr/X11R6/lib/aout
/usr/local/lib/aout"
# a.out shared library search paths
I used the following suggestions I read from the lists.
Note that this was based on the questioner building and installing the
compatability libraries so they would have been already installed in
/usr/lib/compat.
So if you have not you might want to replace:
/bin/sh
cd /usr/lib
for i in *; do if file $i | grep FreeBSD/i386 >/dev/null; then rm $i; fi done
with:
/bin/sh
cd /usr/lib
for i in *; do if file $i | grepFreeBSD/i386>/dev/null;then mv $i aout\
fi done
Check it out first.

Okay, try this:
/bin/sh
cd /usr/lib
for i in *; do if file $i | grep FreeBSD/i386 >/dev/null; then rm $i; fi done
After doing that, look in /etc/rc.conf and check if you have an
ldconfig_paths_aout. If you don't, set it to something on the order of
"/usr/X11R6/lib/aout /usr/local/lib/aout /usr/lib/aout /usr/lib/compat/aout /usr/lib/compat".
Then try typing ldconfig -aout /usr/X11R6/lib/aout /usr/local/lib/aout \
/usr/lib/aout /usr/lib/compat/aout /usr /lib/compat
You may want to also clean out /usr/local/lib, /usr/X11R6/lib, etc. to make
Certain no a.out is there. I'd do something like
cd /usr/local/lib; mkdir aout
for i in *; do if file $i | grep FreeBSD/i386 >/dev/null; then mv $i aout; fi \
done

I use ldconfig -m [-aout] /path/to/libraries
I clipped the relevant bits from the man page.
LDCONFIG(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual LDCONFIG(8)
The following options recognized by ldconfig:
-aout Generate the hints for a.out format shared libraries.
-elf Generate the hints for ELF format shared libraries.
(See ENVIRONMENT)
...
-m Instead of replacing the contents of the hints file with those
found in the directories specified, ``merge'' in new entries.
Directories recorded in the hints file by previous runs of ldcon-
fig are also rescanned for new shared libraries.
-r List the current contents of the hints file on the standard out-
put. The hints file is not modified. The list of directories
stored in the hints file is included.
-s Do not scan the built-in system directory (``/usr/lib'') for
shared libraries.
-v Switch on verbose mode.
...
ENVIRONMENT
OBJFORMAT Overrides (see below) to determine whether
-aout or -elf is the default. If set, its value should be
either `aout' or `elf'.
