Comment(by synthehol):
I usually automate the build of my system, which used to result in a file
looking like this:
{{{
# Begin /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/local/lib
/opt/lib
# End /etc/ld.so.conf
# Begin qt addition to /etc/ld.so.conf
/opt/qt/lib
# End qt addition
# Begin kde addition to /etc/ld.so.conf
/opt/kde/lib
# End kde addition
# Begin gnome addition to /etc/ld.so.conf
/opt/gnome/lib
# End gnome addition
}}}
I agree that if people do not like the way this looks, they can easily
remove the clutter themselves. But this ''is'' the result when following
BLFS to the letter.
Changing the BLFS instructions should fix this:
<start>[[BR]]
Create a new dynamic loader configuration file for <package>, or manually
add
the directories to /etc/ld.so.conf:
{{{
cat > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/<package>.conf << "EOF"
# Begin <package> addition to the dynamic loader search paths
/opt/<package>-<version>/lib
# End <package> addition
EOF
}}}
<end>
In BLFS, the following packages suggest adding entries to ld.so.conf:
''Xorg, Gnome, Qt3, Qt4 and KDE''.
Furthermore, grep tells me that ''gcc3, cdparanoia, sdl and the
introduction'' mention ld.so.conf in some way.
