I'm not sure, actually, since ldconfig is passed the '-n' switch which
will only affect the directory given and not others.

It's worth trying, though.  I'm sorry but I'm not sure I'll have time to
work on it this week, but if you find out some solutions and can let me
know I can modify the book (or I'm always willing to accept patches to
the book).
