Same in Ubuntu, the man ldconfig reads in part ldconfig should normally be run by the super-user as it may require write permission on some root owned directories and files. If you use -r option to change the root directory, you don't have to be super-user though as long as you have sufficient right to that directory tree. So ldconfig as an executable is rightly placed in /sbin However I think you are getting mixed up with /etc/ld.so.conf I don't have one, but ldconfig 'still works' There is a ld.so.cache /sbin/ldconfig is a binary file, so can't quickly tell what it is reading Owen _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
