Error Instaling Packages

I'm trying to install two separate packes through Pacman and am getting the same error on both:

sh: ldconfig: command not found
error: command failed to execute correctly

I'm trying to install Stellarium and cmake.  Not sure what command it can't find...

Here's the whole install output:

Re: Error Instaling Packages

Which version of pacman are you using?  f it's not current, update pacman.

Re: Error Instaling Packages

Pacman v3.3.0 - libalpm v4.0.0

It looks like the applications are successfully installing, but the error appears when it completes.

Re: Error Instaling Packages

Same problem here (Pacman v3.3.0 - libalpm v4.0.0).

echo output:

echo $PATH
/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin:/etc

My problem is that I don't have these lines in .bashrc or .bash_profile or /etc/profile . What file do they belong to ?

A temporary solution is:

export PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin"

The application are successfully installing,

This is my first try with Archlinux (my 2nd day using it) and so far the only problem I came across that I couldn't solve with the help of the wiki, or by searching and reading through the forums.

Re: Error Instaling Packages

Solved it, I'm just a little bit slow on these things just did:

nano ~/.bashrc

and added:

export PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin"

in it, I did read another forum entry on this problem but didn't add this line to my bashrc.

The other forum post was http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=77450 thanks go to tmi999.
