Greetings all,


I'd been going nuts trying to determine why I couldn't link against 
"libdb-4.4.so" and a few other libraries.  The ones in question didn't 
show up via

 	ldconfig -r

although their respective directories _were_ found.  (Yes, I even ran 
"ldconfig -R" for good measure.)  ldconfig seems to "skip" libraries not 
of the form

 	m/.+\.so\.[0-9]+/

i.e.,

 	libfoo.so.1

is found, but

 	libbar.so
 	libsnuzzlycat.so.5.5

are not.

Bug or feature?  Is this what I get for straying from ports/packages? 
;-)


Eddy
