Minor ld.so.conf issue in Salix x86_64

/etc/ld.so.conf reads

Code: Select all

/usr/local/lib
/usr/x86_64-slackware-linux/lib
/usr/lib64/seamonkey
I'm pretty sure that first line should be "/usr/local/lib64" for multilib compatibility purposes (and so that libraries installed with GNU Stow actually work). Not a big deal, but potentially an unexpected gotcha for users.

I think you are right. Example file from OpenSuse:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/lib64
/usr/local/lib
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
# /lib64, /lib, /usr/lib64 and /usr/lib gets added
# automatically by ldconfig after parsing this file.
# So, they do not need to be listed.
But this needs to be reported upstream (Slackware).
