(It doesn't.) That will allow programs linked against libraries in /usr/local/lib to run, but you'll still have to include the directory with -L when you invoke ld. As an aside, ``man ldconfig'' seems a bit condescending, as if to suggest I hadn't even read the necessary documentation before submitting the report, which is obviously not the case. (I'm not familiar with these lists, though, so I'm likely just misunderstanding.) Anyway, ``ldconfig -r'' clearly reports that the directory has been included in the hints file, so unless there's something I'm missing, I still think the bug report is valid. -- Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
