If those libraries are installed with rpm, chances are the post-install script runs ldconfig, which means that you don't even have to use ldconfig yourself at all. > > Yes, but if I boot with linux_enable=NO, the linux `ldconfig' never gets > run. The script takes care of that. When linux_base is installed, ld.so.cache and ld.so.conf are valid. No manual ldconfig is needed. There's of course also the comparison with having the linuxulator compiled in instead of loaded as a module. No scripts are run and ldconfig isn't run either in that case. So, if it works for the compiled in case, it works for the module case as well and simply loading the module should be enough to enable Linux ABI support. -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: marcel@cup.hp.com / marcel@FreeBSD.org tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
