ld.so.conf is overwritten

Applicable to
S.u.S.E. version: from 4.2 on

Symptom:

You have installed a programme that uses a library that is not in the standard paths.

For this reason you have adjusted /etc/ld.so.conf.

However, this file is overwritten at every SuSEconfig start (e.g. by YaST).

Cause:

SuSEconfig always remakes this file, to give again the system's specifications. The following sequence is executed:
if test -e $r/etc/ld.so.conf.in ; then
        (for i in `cat $r/etc/ld.so.conf.in` ; do
                test -d $r/$i && echo $i
        done) > $r/etc/ld.so.conf
fi
