Make sure you don't have settings in /etc/rc.conf which override those
which you found in /etc/defaults/rc.conf .

Note that there are two search path sets -- one for ELF and one for
AOUT. The controlling variables are ldconfig_paths and
ldconfig_paths_aout.

Also note that changing these files does not automatically cause
ldconfig to update the hints database. A reboot takes care of this, as
do the following command:

	ldconfig /usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib
	ldconfig -aout /usr/lib/compat/aout /usr/X11R6/lib/aout \
		       /usr/local/lib/aout

There may be other directories which are merged into the hints database
by scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d .

Ciao,
Sheldon.
