The only thing in the scripts is this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat /usr/local/etc/rc.d/000.compat4x.sh
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib/compat
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat /usr/local/etc/rc.d/000.compat5x.sh
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib/compat
Why they have to both be present, I haven't figured that out yet.
ldconfig points both at the same location.
