I consider adding stuff to /etc/ld.so.conf a kludge (or the whole
file itself, rather...) ideally, ld.so.conf should be empty.  I
have only /usr/local/lib in it because in /usr/local I dump programs
that I compile from their original distribution, and they often
don't link with -Wl,-R/lib/search/path by default.  NetBSD packages
should always do this, therefore you needn't have /usr/pkg/lib in
ld.so.conf (if it fails, rather fix the package.) (I've also removed
/usr/X11R6/lib from it, since then OpenMotif in there always
superseded the LessTif I grow under /usr/local for testing, works
just fine (as it should)).  If gv doesn't currently include the lib
search path in the ELF executable, then it should be persuaded to do
that.
