'man ldconfig' includes the comment: "Some existing libs do not contain enough information to allow the deduction of their type. Therefore, the /etc/ld.so.conf file format allows the specification of an expected type. This is only used for those ELF libs which we can not work out. " So /etc/ld.so.conf can be empty if there's no libs installed that require specification within it. To avoid the error you can just 'touch /etc/ld.so.conf' as you proposed. Without that file ldconfig errors out - if it exists (even empty) ldconfig takes 10-20 seconds and rebuilds cache and links to known installed libraries. j _______________________________________________ support mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
