corrupted "/etc/ld.so.conf" file, how can I fix it?

Question

I am trying to compile Simple Screen Recorder in this link https://github.com/MaartenBaert/ssr. I had linker error due to wrong library path. While checking out library paths I noticed that I had corrupted /etc/ld.so.conf file, I have no idea how it happened but it turned out to be Chinese.

Would anybody post default contents of it?

EDIT:

To my surprize I get correct paths with

$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf

include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf

/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/lib

And I get Chinese letters with

sudo gedit /etc/ld.so.conf

So, is it a gedit bug?

I read the content with

sudo leafpad /etc/ld.so.conf

again

I think this is what you are looking for

chick@dad:~$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
