Is this a verbatim copy of your /etc/ld.so.conf (not lS.so.conf)?
Maybe you don't have to worry if it's working all right, but you
probably should remove the two white spaces at the first line and add
'/' at the beginning of the last line.

Go to a bookstore nearest to you and look for a UNIX introductory

If you understand the concept, you'll have no problem fixing not only
this particular problem but also similar problems which might pop up
in the future.
