^^^^^^
ELF libraries should only have a major version, not a major+minor
version. Install the port instead of compiling it yourself, and this
will be handled.

I believe that ELF ldconfig will ignore libraries with more than one
version number tagged on. But it doesn't matter much -- the hints file
is not used with ELF.

Package? ldconfig is in the base system, and a good guess would be:
$ which ldconfig
/sbin/ldconfig
$ cd /usr/src/sbin/ldconfig
$ ls
Makefile elfhints.c ldconfig.8 ldconfig.c ldconfig.h
Hope this helps!
