How to properly run the ldconifig command.

#1 Post by Tekmon_Xonic »

Greetings everyone.

I'm currently installing some dependencies for cdogs-sdl, one of them is protoc, and I'm following the installation directions here, (https://github.com/protocolbuffers/prot ... /README.md), and I've followed everything up to the "sudo ldconfig # refresh shared library cache." command. I am logged in as super user, but when I attempt to run the final command. It says "bash: ldconifg: command not found". I must not be running this command in the correct way. If anyone could tell me how to properly run this command. I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for your time.

You spelled it 3 different ways in your post. Which did you actually try to run?

Did I spell 3 different ways?, my apologies. I tried to run the ldconfig command with the parameters "# refresh shared library cache." and got a error saying "bash: ldconifg: command not found."

EDIT: to clarify: the command is in the /sbin directory so either call the full path, add that directory to your user's PATH, run it with sudo or obtain a root shell with 'su -' before attempting to use it.
