The ldconfig
command is used to configure the runtime linker on a FreeBSD system. It is typically used to update the system's dynamic linker cache, which is a database of shared libraries that are available on the system.
If you have lost the dynamic linker configuration on a FreeBSD system and need to recreate it, you can use the ldconfig -v
command to do so.
The -v
option tells ldconfig
to run in verbose mode and display information about the shared libraries it processes.
To recreate the dynamic linker configuration on a FreeBSD system, you can run the following command:
# ldconfig -v
This will scan the directories specified in the /etc/ld-elf.so.conf
file and update the dynamic linker cache with the shared libraries it finds.
Note that the ldconfig
command should be run as the root
user.
For more information about the ldconfig
command and configuring the runtime linker on a FreeBSD system, you can refer to the FreeBSD documentation and the ldconfig
man page by running man ldconfig
on the command line.
