I verified in that case that the Linux If they put the libs directly in /usr/local/lib instead of /usr/local/lib/<linux_port_specific_directory>, then it is a big error. But if it is in a subdirectory where no FreeBSD lib resides, it is ok (the linux browser sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the start script to the right path). Have a look how the native browser works, the private libs are not in ldconfig either and the browser start script sets the library path for the browser binary. At least it did this the last time I checked...
