That line should add '/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql' to the end of /etc/ld.so.conf, and the rerun ldconfig. /etc/ld.so.conf is used to tell ld, Linux's dynamic library loader, about the location of non-standard libraries. What do you mean it doesn't do anything? It won't add any files or print anything, it just adds the line to that file, then updates /etc/ld.so.cache...Also, that should be 'ldconfig -X', since your Debian package is supposed to take care of creating the library symlinks and such... -- Rob Weir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ertius.org/
