What does "ldconfig" do. Or whats its purpose and what kind of ramifications does it have. Not trying to HiJack your thread but I'm curious. I was installing a stage 2 tarball and got upto the point where I do: "emerge -u system" This would run and then I would get and error when "autoconf-2.57-r1" was trying to compile complaining that it needed Perl and I was basically stuck. One suggestion was: # ldconfig # env-update #source /etc/profile What does this do? What ever it does " I couldn't understand from "man ldconfig". Plus it didn't solve my problem. Still got the same error when retrying "system -u update" Finally I just did what I thought was logical and emerged perl. This seems to have worked so far. I'm still compiling 80 some packages from system -u update still. Thanks, JBanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
