I have a (hopefully) simple question, so please forgive my ignorance. But heck, we all have to start somewhere. Okay, I've been using FreeBSD for about a month now, and am tinkeringly famliar with C and C++ coding, which is to say, I usetacould. Anyway, I've been installing some programs designed primarily for linux systems, which seem to use an ld.so.conf file in /etc to point to libraries, which updates, I'm guessing, LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. Neither of these seem to exist in the BSD world, so here's my question. How do I update the path where libraries and header files are searched for? BSD seems to like to put things in /usr/lib, /usr/bin, etc.. where as the programs I'm installing are placing these files, by default, in /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/bin, etc., which isn't IN my path for lib and bin files. I can see where it sets the path on boot, but can't manage to figure out how to change it. Any help would be appreciated. - Tim
