Hi Bob, I don't use openBSD, but from the FreeBSD ldconfig man page I have: -m Instead of replacing the contents of the hints file with those found in the directories specified, ``merge'' in new entries. Directories recorded in the hints file by previous runs of ldconfig are also rescanned for new shared libraries.
So I would guess you want ldconfig -m, or reboot your system and I am sure it will scan for new shared libraries. Best of luck.
