The man page of ldconfig is still talking about a builtin /usr/lib.
This should disappear then, right?

I had a problem this morning after moving from 3.0-current of July 1997
to 3.0-current of yesterday. Had to rebuild (at least) elm.
And when the user started elm he said he couldn't move
up down to the messages with the cursor keys.

I was blaming this to a possible mess I may have had with /usr/lib still
being in the ldconfig path.  Right now I'm gonna reboot that machine
with all stuff in /usr/lib removed and the right /etc/rc setting
as what LDC_ is concerned.
