Обсуждение: invalid ldconfig [option]

The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/install-post.html
Description:

In the line  "/sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/pgsql/lib" the "-m" is a invalid
option. I think is a mispelling of a "-n" option.

Invalid according to who?  The page says that that version of the
command is for FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.  I just checked on
FreeBSD 12: its ldconfig has no -n option, but it does have

     -m      Instead of replacing the contents of the hints file with those
             found in the directories specified, "merge" in new entries.
             Directories recorded in the hints file by previous runs of
             ldconfig are also rescanned for new shared libraries.

I'm hardly a FreeBSD power user, but that does sound like what
is wanted here.

            regards, tom lane

Dear Tom Lane, I'm sorry.  You are in right. I read not carefully and
I've hop a line. The code is for BSD and not linux.
