Anyone Experience Problems Using Sym Links in /etc/ld.so.conf?

Heya RH Peeps,

I am getting errant results when defining library paths in /etc/ld.so.conf, mainly with some ldap stuff I am working on.

For example here is my ld.so.conf:
/usr/local/openldap-2.1.9/lib
/usr/local/net-snmp-5.0.9/lib
/usr/local/openssl-0.9.7c/lib
/usr/local/php-4.3.4/lib
/usr/local/cyrus-imapd-2.1.15/lib
/usr/kerberos/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib/qt-3.1/lib
/usr/lib/qt2/lib
/usr/lib/sane
/usr/lib/mysql

So based on this and the absense of a defined LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the default would be to use the first library found, thus the ldap lib in /usr/local/openldap-2.1.9/lib not under /usr/lib, correct?

This is also verified as follows:
syslog:~ #ldconfig -p | grep ldap | more
libldap_r.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/local/openldap-2.1.9/lib/libldap_r.so.2
libldap_r.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libldap_r.so.2
libldap_r.so (libc6) => /usr/local/openldap-2.1.9/lib/libldap_r.so
libldap_r.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libldap_r.so
libldap.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/local/openldap-2.1.9/lib/libldap.so.2
libldap.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libldap.so.2
libldap.so (libc6) => /usr/local/openldap-2.1.9/lib/libldap.so
libldap.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libldap.so
liblber.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/local/openldap-2.1.9/lib/liblber.so.2
liblber.so (libc6) => /usr/local/openldap-2.1.9/lib/liblber.so


However, when I compile so code and link with some ldap libraries, it is somehow using the copy in /usr/lib even though ldd say this:

syslog:/usr/bin #ldd ldap_chk
libldap.so.2 => /usr/local/openldap-2.1.9/lib/libldap.so.2 (0x40033000)
liblber.so.2 => /usr/local/openldap-2.1.9/lib/liblber.so.2 (0x4005b000)
libsasl.so.7 => /usr/lib/libsasl.so.7 (0x40066000)
libgdbm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2 (0x40071000)
libpam.so.0 => /lib/libpam.so.0 (0x40078000)
libssl.so.4 => /lib/libssl.so.4 (0x40080000)
libcrypto.so.4 => /lib/libcrypto.so.4 (0x400b5000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x401a7000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x401d4000)
libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x401e9000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x401fb000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x42000000)
libsasl2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libsasl2.so.2 (0x401ff000)
libgssapi_krb5.so.2 => /usr/kerberos/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so.2 (0x40213000)
libkrb5.so.3 => /usr/kerberos/lib/libkrb5.so.3 (0x40226000)
libcom_err.so.3 => /usr/kerberos/lib/libcom_err.so.3 (0x40284000)
libk5crypto.so.3 => /usr/kerberos/lib/libk5crypto.so.3 (0x40286000)
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x40296000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)


Very odd, but I verified that it is indeed accessing the libraries in /usr/lib/libldap.so.2 and not /usr/local/openldap-2.1.9/lib/libldap.so.2 by renaming /usr/local/openldap-2.1.9 to /usr/local/test-openldap-2.1.9

Arg. I need the latest version of openldap, the latest RH rpm will not work for me. (the code I am writing needs to support solaris and other Unixes as well so the reason I need the later openldap is for a solaris problem, but I want to standardize accross all platforms)

Anyway, just wondering if anyone has seen this problem.

System Specs:
Red Hat 9.0 with all updates
Kernel 2.4.20-20.9smp (stock)
Dual 1.7 Ghz Xeons, 2GB ECC RAM / Tyan MB
SysKonnect Gigabit NIC
Using the default development tools with the exception of the packages I installed into /usr/local. (listed above in the ld.so.conf file)


Thanks for any help,
CC
