Quoting Chuck Robey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (from Sun, 02 Dec 2007 13:23:33 -0500):

You've gotten some good suggestions, but I might add one more, I don't
think it's been mentioned.  I have foound, myself in the last 2 weeks,
some FreeBSD ports putting in Linux tools, installing stuff in the
wrong places, like sticking in SYSV libraries in /usr/local/lib instead
of /compat/linux/usr/lib.  I verified in that case that the Linux

If they put the libs directly in /usr/local/lib instead of /usr/local/lib/<linux_port_specific_directory>, then it is a big error. But if it is in a subdirectory where no FreeBSD lib resides, it is ok (the linux browser sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the start script to the right path).

Have a look how the native browser works, the private libs are not in ldconfig either and the browser start script sets the library path for the browser binary. At least it did this the last time I checked...

Bye,
Alexander.
