I run kylix2 which requires it binary and libs directory to be in the ld.so.conf file. I entered that entry into ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig. Everything works fine. But whenever I emerge anything, it rewrites over the ld.so.conf file and removes my kylix2 settings. A real pain! Portage-1.8.9_pre36.ebuild.
Daniel, A request for customisable ld.so.conf file?
Add your settings to a file in the /etc/env.d directory. Sorry for the delay in replying. /etc/env.d/20kylix: LDPATH=/path/to/kylix/libs Problem solved. :)
