Ack .. did I blow away my ldconfig ?

A

absduser

I was checking lib dependencies on a binary and instead of typing:

ldd binary

I accidently typed:

ldconfig binary

... which resulted in all kinds of garbage on the screen and pages of error output ...

I am running 12.1-RELEASE and when I run 'ldconfig -r' I see:

# ldconfig -r
/var/run/ld-elf.so.hints:
search directories: .

... does that look right ? Or did I muck everything up ? I don't have another system to compare it to right now ...

Thanks.
 
I get (on 12.1-RELEASEp5, amd64):
Code: 
%  ldconfig -r
/var/run/ld-elf.so.hints:

ugh ... how can I reconstruct the default hints that I should have ?

Which is to say, I know how I can add a bunch of hints to the system that I brainstorm, but I would like to just restore the default hints that I should have prior to blowing this away ...

service ldconfig restart

That appeared to work - thank you.

Although, I am confused - generally when I start, or restart, a service, there is then a process running on the system that I can see with 'ps' ... but after running:

service ldconfig restart

... I then 'ps auxw|grep ld' ... and there is nothing ...

What processes are running to support the ldconfig service ?

Thanks.
