What you've documented above is the Correct Way(tm) to remove lib32 support. Though I advocate people not install it in the first place, unless they absolutely need it. The message from /etc/rc.d/ldconfig you see there about 32-bit compatibility ldconfig path is fine -- it shows an empty path, which is correct. Nothing to worry about there. My systems, which have never had lib32 ever, show the same: ELF ldconfig path: /lib /usr/lib /usr/lib/compat /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/mysql 32-bit compatibility ldconfig path: -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
