ldconfig error: is not a symbolic link

Question

When running:

    sudo /sbin/ldconfig

the following error appears:

    /sbin/ldconfig: /usr/local/lib/ is not a symbolic li         


        

Answer 1

You need to include the path of the libraries inside /etc/ld.so.conf, and rerun ldconfig to upate the list

Other possibility is to include in the env variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH the path to your library, and rerun the executable.

check the symbolic links if they point to a valid library ...

You can add the path directly in /etc/ld.so.conf, without include...

run ldconfig -p to see whether your library is well included in the cache.
