Could someone with a clean install of the recent KDE 3.1.2 on SuSE 8.1 take a look at /etc/ld.so.conf and let me know what they put int there, if anything.

/etc/ls.so.conf is a file that should contain any directory or subdirectory where a program places library.so files. Edit it and put any directory that your system has /lib/file.so in it (EX. /usr/lib/qt3/lib/ or /opt/mozilla/lib/). When finished run "ldconfig -v | less" and find out which ones are not needed. SuSE for years has not updated this file and you will find about 4 or 5 directories that are not even on your system. (EX. /usr/X11 or /usr/i386-linux).
Setting it up correctly will aid your system in finding libraries.
Yes. I have been changing my /etc/ld.so.conf to trouble shoot problems. Now I want to know what the SuSE rpms put in the file so I can determine if I want to put them back. I don't recall if I put the /opt/kde3 /opt/kde2 in, or if SuSE did. Could you cat the file and send the output. Thanks. STH
