The "man" files are *really* there for a reason and although, somewhat
cryptic in a lot of cases, really can help understand what is going on.
from 'man ldconfig'"
ldconfig creates the necessary links and cache to the most
recent shared libraries found in the directories specified on
the command line, in the file /etc/ld.so.conf, and in the
trusted directo‐ ries (/lib and /usr/lib). The cache is used
by the run-time linker, ld.so or ld-linux.so. ldconfig checks
the header and filenames of the libraries it encounters when
determining which versions should have their links updated.
If you will watch the progress of yast, after installing/upgrading a
package, it runs "ldconfig" (usually).
note: imho, the use of graphics to accomplish *everything* really
detracts from *learning* your system.
