The /usr/pkg heirarchy is where the package system installs by default.  You
don't need it if you don't have any packages by default.  `ldconfig` gives
you this messages because it uses the file '/etc/ld.so.conf' to determine
which directories to search for libraries.  To keep it quiet, you can create
the '/usr/pkg/lib' directory or edit the config file and remove that line.

PS.  The packges system is a nice easy way to install ready-ported programs.
Just grab a pkgsrc tarball, cd into the directory and type `make install`.
You need a bit of free disk space though - pkgsrc is 25M, plus space for
compiling.
