ldconfig

i'm going crazy on this one:

I've been trying to get sqlite3 to compile with threads on
my freebsd  
box.   ( it had a bug that wouldn't let it do it, and was
upgraded a  
few days ago, but the patch wasn't working right )

I figured there might be some issue with the linked
libraries,  so i  
tried running ldconfig.

well, ldconfig doesn't seem to work the exactly the same it
does on  
linux...   and i managed to wipe all the hints.

now my system has neither a /etc/ld.so.conf or
/etc/ld-elf.so.conf .   
(was it always like that?  i dont know)  and few apps work.

running ldconfig /libexec i can get bash running, but i kill
ssh.   
ldconfig /lib gets sshd running, but i kill bash

running ldconfig /libexec /lib seems to work .  but
obviously my box  
is trashed right now and I need to fix it.   and there's
got to be a  
better way.  google isn't much help, neither are the man
pages.  can  
someone point me in the right direction?

1: man ldconfig

2: as root ldconfig -m  /lib /usr/lib ...
   to get things working, you may want to add a -elf to
create a hints file

Maybe you can rebuild your hints off of mine.  You will
probably not  
need all the /usr/local entries:
bjornhost=>ldconfig -r
/var/run/ld-elf.so.hints:
         search directories:
/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/compat:/usr/X11R6/ 
lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/compat/pkg:/usr/local/lib/
apache2:/ 
usr/local/lib/mysql:/usr/local/lib/pth
