It's set on startup by the /etc/rc file, and yes, it does by default include /usr/local/lib, but not on a real dynamic basis. On startup, the directories you'll see mentioned are scanned for shared libs, and a file in /var/run called ld.so.hints carries info as to where to find stuff. If you add a library, and you're using a recent version of FreeBSD (this has changed not too long ago) you can get ldconfig to re-scan and merge in hints about libs you've added. This is all put down in the ldconfig man page, and perhaps a reread with this info will make more sense to you now. > > Reason being it doesn't seem to include /usr/local/lib. > Is this correct, and if so, shouldn't it be added? > > Curiously, > -Archie > > _______________________________________________________________________________ > Archie L.
