If this isn't what you're referring to: $ grep /local/lib /etc/defaults/rc.conf /etc/defaults/rc.conf:ldconfig_paths="/usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib" /etc/defaults/rc.conf:ldconfig_paths_aout="/usr/lib/compat/aout /usr/X11R6/lib/aout /usr/local/lib/aout" then I don't know what you're asking. Perhaps, if you provided more details about the programs and/or libraris you're installing and what you have done so far in order to use them? - Giorgos
