Hi,
I have couple of questions regarding ldconfig. First according to
the manual in -stable
-R Rescan the previously configured directories. This opens
the
previous hints file and fetches the directory list from
the head-
er. Any additional pathnames on the command line are
also pro-
cessed. This is the default action when no parameters
are given.
However try to add a new directory such as "ldconfig
/usr/local/lib/mysql" and all the other directorys go away as
evidenced by "ldconfig -r". However "ldconfig -R
/usr/local/lib/mysql" does add the library properly. If -R is the
default behavior why is the behavoir different with -R! Is the man
page incorrect or does ldconfig have the wrong default behavior or am
I confused? (I am confused anyway!).
Also the -v switch seems to do nothing (on BSD/OS -v shows the libs
added).
Is there an advantage to not using /etc/ld.so.conf? Besides the
obvious having lots of configs in rc.conf.
Thanks Ken
