Hi lists, Matthew, Manuel,

this is about Gentoo bug 379931[1] which I'll summarize here.

Racket calls `ldconfig -n /usr/lib' in the course of doing `make
install' and this causes one of bigloo's shared object symlinks to be
unlinked.
I don't think racket should be calling ldconfig.
On the other hand, I am not sure that I know of any good reason why
calling ldconfig should cause that unlink to happen (which isn't
saying very much). Could it be that bigloo also does something funny here?

Marijn
