creating symlinks with ldconfig

[kamaraju kusumanchi <raju.mailinglists@gmail.com>]

Let's say I have a file called libfortranposix.so.0.0.0, whose soname is 
libfortranposix.so.0 . Now when I run 'sudo ldconfig', I should have 3 
files namely, libfortranposix.so, libfortranposix.so.0 which point to 
libfortranposix.so.0.0.0 according to 
http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Library-related_Commands_and_Files#ldconfig 
.

But when I ran ldconfig, I was not getting any libfortranposix.so .

$sudo ldconfig


$ls /usr/lib/libfortranposix* -al
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    24 Jul  9 16:46 /usr/lib/libfortranposix.so.0 
-> libfortranposix.so.0.0.0
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 13840 Jul  9 16:22 /usr/lib/libfortranposix.so.0.0.0

Any ideas on why the libfortranposix.so is missing?

thanks
raju
