I have been getting the following error when trying to run ldconfig:
ldconfig: /usr/lib64/libfreebl3.so is not a symbolic link

# ll /usr/lib64/libfreebl3.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 312336 Mar 28 11:13 /usr/lib64/libfreebl3.so
I've used "yum whatprovides /usr/lib64/libfreeb13.so" to determine that this file belongs to nss. I have tried to reinstall nss but that does not fix the problem.

Any ideas? How can I fix this?

Try to reinstall glibc.

According to `yum deplist glibc-2.5-42.el5_4.3.x86_64' you may also try
with reinstalling `libgcc' and `glibc-common'.

Look for other files that would otherwise be the targets of a symlink:

# ls /usr/lib64/libfreebl3*

It's normal for /usr/lib64/libfreebl3.so to not be a symlink. It
shouldn't be a problem unless ldconfig locates another file which it
will try to use as the target of a symlink.

Once you locate the other file, you can either remove the package that
provides it (or remove the file if there is no such package) or ignore
the error.
