Is ld broken in potato?
I tried starting StarOffice today (after not having used it for months)
and it wouldn't load, complaining it couldn't find lib<xxx>.so. Since
the 'soffice' startup script correctly sets up $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I'm
wondering why that environment variable is not being honored. If I edit
ld.so.conf, adding the path /usr/local/Office51/lib, and run ldconfig
everything is peachy. I'd hate to have to edit ld.so.conf for every
program that installs libraries in /usr/local/<foo>/lib, especially when
the start-up script correctly sets up the path to the libraries by
exporting $LD_LIBRAY_PATH.
I'll be checking the bug reports in a minute.
