[gentoo-user] Adding a dir to ldcache
Hi, I'm using prelink. Everytime I update prelink I get a number of messages like the following: prelink: /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird/timebombgen: Could not parse `/usr/lib/MozillaFirebird/timebombgen: error while loading shared libraries: libxpcom.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory' Obviously the problem here is that the lib libxpcom.so could not be found by the prelinker. A quick locate shows that it is in: /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird/ which iirc is not in the LDPATH so won't be in the cache. My question is how do I add this dir to the ldcache? More over shouldn't the ebuild do this for me? If so I'll raise a bug for Firebird. Cheers -- Dg -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Well I checked /etc/ld.so.conf and it said: # ld.so.conf autogenerated by env-update; make all changes to # contents of /etc/env.d directory so I went to /etc/env.d but wasn't how safe it was to edit these files. Anyway I read the ENV.d documentation on the Gentoo website. It appears that it is safe to edit these files. Then all you have to do is run env-update. ld.so.conf is updated and won't get over written the next time you emerge a package! Cheers anyway. -- Dg -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

You can add directories to ldcache by changing /etc/ld.so.conf and running ldconfig afterwards. What does ldconfig do. Or whats its purpose and what kind of ramifications does it have. Not trying to HiJack your thread but I'm curious. I was installing a stage 2 tarball and got upto the point where I do: emerge -u system This would run and then I would get and error when autoconf-2.57-r1 was trying to compile complaining that it needed Perl and I was basically stuck. One suggestion was: # ldconfig # env-update #source /etc/profile What does this do? What ever it does I couldn't understand from man ldconfig. Plus it didn't solve my problem. Still got the same error when retrying system -u update Finally I just did what I thought was logical and emerged perl. This seems to have worked so far. I'm still compiling 80 some packages from system -u update still. Thanks, JBanks __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I didn't know that - but of course, I just only started using the Gentoo distribution for around two weeks ago, so I haven't really got around with all the changes from the other distributions I've played with (for about 8 years). -- Med venlig hilsen / Best regards, Kim Ingemann http://pingvinland.dk/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

There is some info in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/prelink-howto.xml I saw nothing specific about MozillaFirebird in that how-to. However it did remind me of the /etc/prelink.conf file. It would appear that the prelink.conf file is updated by the prelink binary when a lib dir is added or removed. So it would appear that the best place to add such lib dirs is in /etc/env.d/ Cheers -- Dg -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
