Re: Problems with ldconfig

["Stanislaw Szczygiel" <Stanislaw.Szczygiel%centertel.pl@localhost>]

Hello,


I made links to libpng.so.1.2 - all others (to libpng.so, libpng.so.1 etc) I 
found
in directory - so it must be work of some package. 

Generally coz I hade mess in long used 1.42, few days ago I installed
from the beggining 1.4.3 - NetBSD, and next packages. Also mosaic,
which needs some version of library. I made link to newer library, made 
ldconfig - and everything was ok. After few days appeared 1.5 - and
because of all changes, I decided to install it also from beggining. I 
downloaded proper newer packages, and started installation. After all
works I made ldconfig. But when I started mosaic again - the message 
apeeared about lack of library (and simmilar to few other applications). 
Ive checked - they were in directories (and then I found this situation
with links). But in 1.4.3 ldconfig had no problems... After all checks I 
found, that problem is in "invisibility" for ldconfig some libraries - and
all invisible libs has links.

I had no time to check libs without links - maybe during weekend, Im
very busy at work now. But maybe the problem lays in some envirnment
variables or simmilar... Because the rule is rather visible.

regards, 

Stanislaw Szczygiel

Who did create those links? the libpng as installed by the package system
does not have them:

ls -l /usr/pkg/lib/libpng*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  115818 Oct  2 01:05 /usr/pkg/lib/libpng.a
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel     632 Oct  2 01:05 /usr/pkg/lib/libpng.la
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  130728 Oct  2 01:05 /usr/pkg/lib/libpng.so.1.3
