Posted here thinking this may be a bug; but, not sure if this is, and could not delete it and post in a different forum. My difficulty is with library setup. Need to use Keepass, and am getting library error.

Installed qt-3.3.8 libraries, trying to solve the 'libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory' when running keepass.

I checked that /usr/lib/qt/lib has libqt-mt.so.3 linked to libqt-mt.so.3.3.8 in the same directory. Checked that /etc/ld.so.conf has /usr/lib in it. When trying to run ldconfig in order to update the library setup, found out that ldconfig is absent (ldconfig: command not found). I downloaded http://dotpups.de/dotpups/System_Utilities/ldconfig.pup, and installed it.

Ran ldconfig. ldconfig -p command does not print any of the libraries in /usr/lib/qt/lib. Don't know what I am doing wrong.

Thanks for help.

I think I had the same error with qt when I built Muppy-Embryo, a stripped down Puppy with Opera, that even ldconfig did not recognize the libs.
I had to reboot so that the changes were active.

Before the reboot, I could test things by typing this in the consoe, I ran the program from:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/qt/lib
