dpkg can't find ldconfig?

[jennyw <jennywsf@yahoo.com>]

Weird problem ... I tried installing some software I downloaded
(compupic -- software to manage images) using dpkg -i and dpkg
returned:

    'ldconfig' not found on PATH.

I searched the file system and there is no ldconfig anywhere. I tried
'apt-get install ldconfig' and it says:

    Reading Package Lists... Done
    Building Dependency Tree... Done
    Note, selecting ldso instead of ldconfig
    Sorry, ldso is already the newest version
    0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not
upgraded.
    3 packages not fully installed or removed.
    Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
    dpkg: `ldconfig' not found on PATH.
    dpkg: 1 expected program(s) not found on PATH.
    NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin
and /sbin.
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

There are no man pages for ldso or ldconfig. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Jen
