I suspect some OO executable or lib has some search paths hardcoded which the linker checks before using the ldconfig cache. If you want you could check this with: objdump -p <executable> | grep RPATH RPATH could be /usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib for instance. Also, when a Linux program opens a file (i.e. libXext.so.6), FreeBSD first tries to find it under /compat/linux, then under /. So linker tries to open /usr/local/lib/libXext.so, but it didn't exist under /compat/linux so it got the FreeBSD libXext.so. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
