https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=235780 ------- Comment #5 from andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de 2007-01-17 09:35 MST ------- Can you try to answer the question in comment 3 as exactly as possible? You can remove some stuff from /usr/local/lib, run /sbin/ldconfig to clean up everything, then reinstall them and do the tests. To give you some information: The system keeps a "cache" of all shared libraries in /etc/ld.so.cache, to speed up program startup. This behaviour is configurable in /etc/ld.so.conf. The speedup is achieved by storing the path to the libraries, so that the linker doesn't have to go through all search paths each time you start a program. If you run /sbin/ldconfig, you'll notice that it needs some time to run; this is the time it saves on each startup of a program. This is very nice, but also means that /sbin/ldconfig _must_ be run after installation, update or removal of any shared libraries. Sometimes it works even without the /sbin/ldconfig call, but this is pure coincidence and doesn't have anything to do with whether the library is in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib. Do more tests and you'll see that without calling /sbin/ldconfig, it will sometimes fail even for /usr/lib. Now, all I need to know is whether everything works after running /sbin/ldconfig. If it does, it's not a bug because this is the designed behaviour. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
