No, FreeBSD does *not* cache this info. You need to run it on every
system startup, unless you're libs are in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib
or you've altered FreeBSD's setting of ldconfig_paths in the system
startup scripts.

Here's what I'm using, as file /usr/local/etc/rc.d/00postgres-client.sh,
as opposed to running it in the server startup script.

--cut here--
#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
start)
/sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/pgsql/lib
;;
stop)
;;
*)
echo ""
echo "Usage: `basename $0` { start | stop }"
echo ""
exit 64
;;
esac

--cut here--
