So, ldconfig need to remember its last call (without -a). This means that a line need to be added in ld.so.hints e.g # /usr/lib /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib where # looks like a comment line for ld.so which should of course walk over this line. -------- -------- Philippe Charnier charnier@lirmm.fr LIRMM, 161 rue Ada, 34392 Montpellier cedex 5 -- France ------------------------------------------------------------------------
