Library packages.

I've seen this file system layout on RedHat-based systems.

The /etc/ld.so.conf has a single line in it, something to the effect of 
'include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf'.

What this does is when the ldconfig goes to read the ld.so.conf file to 
get it's extra library paths, it checks the ld.so.conf.d directory and 
any .conf files it finds, it tried to read them and add them to the 
library search path (those conf files should be absolute paths to extra 
libs, such as /usr/local/lib).

So, if there isn't anything in that directory, this would mean to me 
that you have not installed any extra library packages using the 
system's native package management system.

You could always 'touch /etc/ld.so.conf.d/blank.conf', that should get 
rid of the errors, but it may not fix your main issue....

explanation helps you get it figured out.  :-)
