Bugzilla Bug 64829

When I emerge svgalib (tried both 1.9.19-r1 and 1.9.18) the install fails
trying to write to /etc/ld.so.conf.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge svgalib


Actual Results:  
Installing shared library image as
/var/tmp/portage/svgalib-1.9.19-r1/image//usr/lib/libvga.so.1.9.19

this is the problem:

during the build process a shell script called fixldsoconf is executed

This is shown below:
#!/bin/sh
if grep -q /usr/local/lib /etc/ld.so.conf
 then
  echo > /dev/null
 else
  echo /usr/local/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf
 fi


I don't have  /usr/local/lib and so the build tries to add that line to /etc/ld.so.conf - hence the ACCESS violation. 

manually adding /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf lets the emerge complete. 

you should have /usr/local/lib in your /etc/ld.so.conf since it comes from
/etc/env.d/00basic which comes from baselayout ...

added a patch to cvs to remove fixldsoconf
