Wrecked kernel

Thu Jun 18 19:05:48 PDT 2020

Static libraries disappear for no reason
ldconfig -i/usr/local/lib recovers them, though it must be run repeatedly.
After that I wrenched X in semi working order, without a fully functioning
window manager. Screen and mouse check!
It is enough work to make me reinstall.
How is the 5.8.1 installation process, honestly?
