Configuring gnome-libs

Config files

/opt/gnome/etc/mime-magic, /opt/gnome/etc/paper.config, /opt/gnome/etc/sound/events/gnome.soundlist and /opt/gnome/etc/sound/events/gtk-events.soundlist

Configuration Information

As with most libraries, there is no configuration to do, save that the library directory i.e. /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries. After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run while logged in as root.
