Gee , I didn't know that - I've changed /etc/ld.so.conf a few times
to get things to work - but I'm basically the only user on this system.
I've changed my mozilla startup script to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH for
mozilla if it's not already set. If you have time Jochen, could you
check it and see if it's okay. I added this:
mp=`expr "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" : ".*\(/usr/local/lib/mozilla\).*"`
if [ "$mp" = "" ]
then
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib/mozilla
fi

Is the /etc/ld.so.conf meant for system libraries, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
meant for "user"/"application" libraries?
