huh. I never thought of telling ldconfig to look in another directory. I always just 'ln'ed a link to the db libs in /usr/local/lib and ran it. =P
/me makes note of ld.so.conf on hand...

Come to think of it, most of the time I wanted to add environment variables to root and other stuff so sometimes I just rebooted and tried that new kernel at the same time. The evil influence of Windows, I suppose.
