Re: ldconfig vs f8 ????

Greetings;

Can anyone explain the reason why F8, by default, does not include /usr/local/lib in its working pathlist?

I just had to add another file naming it in /etc/ld.so.conf.d

I don't recall ever having to do that in any previous incarnations of fedora, it was always there.


Been that way since at least FC4.
I have a script that installed some stuff in /usr/local for fc4 and it had to
echo "/usr/local/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/usrlocal-i386.conf
for those programs to work.

we forget these things, when we install using .spec files that default to putting all programs in /usr/ vs /usr/local. :)
