Can someone gently explain how this is supposed to work. On our other servers I see the both /usr/local/lib/apache2 and /usr/local/lib/mysql are on the standard paths, but I don't know where those folders get set up as there are no ld.so.conf (or ld-elf.so.conf) files in /etc. It's easy to get those folders into the /var/run/ld.so.hints etc files, but how does one make them persist? -- Robin Becker
