library links

[Brent Hills]

Hello

I removed the link I added manually and ran ldconfig and the link is not
generated.  A link for libasound.so.2 exists but not libasound.so.

[root at unixtop lib]# ldconfig
[root at unixtop lib]# ls -l /usr/lib/libasound*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     18 Mar 30 12:44 /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 ->
libasound.so.2.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 695436 Mar 11 19:53 /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0

Do I need to use -l on ldconfig the man page is vague on its use?

Thanks,
Brent Hills.
