This scary message started popping up at me for no reason that I could see. The way I fixed it was to cd to the directory where the libraries are.
locate libraryname
(In mine it was one of the gcc libraries so I cd'd to
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.2
)
and then run ldconfig
The computer will buzz for a couple of seconds while it sorts itself out. Then things (for me anyways) started working.

I had the same error message after my system crashed in the middle of a emerge -u world (hardware problem) I couldn't even start X anymore...

AFAIK you can run ldconfig from anywhere, you don't have to cd to a special directory. It will check /etc/ld.so.conf for the directories.

I had picked up ldconfig deep in some thread, and they said to go to the directory so that's what I did, and it worked. But I did have my suspictions as to wether it was really necessary.

Thanks for the clarification.

Aye, just to confirm your findings.

I also ran into these errors. I think it was something I emerged. Perhaps an emerge -deep world a couple weeks ago. Running ldconfig from anywhere seemed to fix all the library file links.
