ld problems

Im running Tru64 5.1b on an Alpha ES40. I was forced to reboot this
morning and booted into single user mode to fix some things. As always
I ran mount -a -t advfs so as to boot all the local file systems and
none of the nfs filesystems. I received an error message from ld
complaining that it couldnt find the ldcdrom.so library. Nothing but /
was mounted as well. I booted into multiuser mode and everything went
fine. I did a man on ld and see that it should be looking in /usr/shlib
  among a few other directories as the default. The ldcdrom.so file is
in /usr/shlib as it should be but apparently ld isnt looking there.

Im sure that there is a file that contains the default paths for ld to
look in.....can someone point me to that file please so I can verify
that it isnt corrupted or hasnt been changed? Is there any way to tell
what directories ld is going to look in? ( I know where it is supposed
to look but is there a way to verify that it is indeed looking there)?

thanks for any info
