[ltp] [OT] Library Files on Fedora Core 2

[James McKenzie]

Eben:

I sent the original message from my office.  I checked the ld.so.conf 
file and it did not have /usr/lib in it.  I added it to the bottom and 
then ran ldconfig -f /etc/ld.so.conf -v.  It appeared to run ok, but 
when I ran rpm -Uvh kdebase-....rpm I still get unresolved library 
errors.  The interesting thing is that this is also complaining that xfs 
is NOT running, but when I do a ps-ef | grep xfs, xfs is running.  What 
do you think is the problem?  Remember, this is an upgrade to the 
kdebase that FC2 installed.

Also, in a bash session, I do the following:

set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

When I type in set, there is no entry for LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Thanks.
