liblpr.so.0 should have been installed in /usr/local/lib by the LPRng
package. If it isn't there, or file(1) doesn't recognise it as an
"ELF 32-bit LSB shared object" or 'pkg_info -g LPRng\*' says that the
checksum on the file is incorrect then I'd recommend deleting (use
pkg_delete(1)) and reinstalling the LPRng port --- preferably by using
cvsup(1) to grab an up-to-date copy of the ports tree, and then doing
a 'make install' in /usr/ports/sysutils/LPRng
If the liblpr.so.0 file is there and seems to be OK, then don't go
fiddling with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or other environment variables. All
you need to do is run:
ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib
*once* and that shared library should then be found forever after.
Cheers,
Matthew
