Title: Redhat 8.0 and ldconfig
Post by: RudeCat7 on 12 October 2002, 18:44

I was trying to install xine last night. You are supposed to do a "ldconfig" but bash said, "command not found".

Anyhow, I eventually discovered that you have to do a "/sbin/ldconfig".

Is this normal, or is this a bug?

i am going to take a stab that that is normal. A lot of commands are in /sbin b/c i believe that is where root executes things.

/sbin isn't in your path. when doing something as root type "su -" instead of just "su" and this will set your path variable.
