[QUOTE="Jaden, post: 390092, member: 51705"] See, this is your problem. Don't disregard something you don't know as invalid, or nonsense. This question has been asked to me before by a couple of my friends who have doctorates in computer science so I'm pretty sure it's a valid question to ask. You need to stop assuming. Answer the question. I don't "spew" nonsense without having sources to back it up, that'd be foolish. It was a serious question, so why don't you answer it? Or do you want a more elaborate explanation? Answer the question. Don't disregard a valid question with "nonsense", let's get an answer. Pretty certain that's how it works. We can even reference the linux manual. Now that I think about it, you might have heard a previous explanation of ldconfig quite differently so here's basically a literal schema of it's algorithm. [SPOILER="ldconfig"] [INDENT]for all libraries in the directory do get soname of library if soname is already in list if new library is newer, replace entry otherwise ignore this library otherwise add library to list[/INDENT] [/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
