If they put the libs directly in /usr/local/lib instead of =20
/usr/local/lib/<linux_port_specific_directory>, then it is a big =20
error. But if it is in a subdirectory where no FreeBSD lib resides, it =20
is ok (the linux browser sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the start script to =20
the right path).

Have a look how the native browser works, the private libs are not in =20
ldconfig either and the browser start script sets the library path for =20
the browser binary. At least it did this the last time I checked...
