I found out about ldconfig and ld.so.conf from a c programming for linux 
text.
Bound to be some info on a google somewhere.

There's not much to know and you seem to have gotten the procedure right
   - edit ld.so.conf
   - update with ldconfig
is all there is to know. Exactly what did you add to your ld.so.conf?

An example: I have some of the new enlightenment graphics libraries 
installed
in /usr/local/e17/lib, so

		echo /usr/local/e17/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf

does the trick (above just appends the line, /usr/local/e17/lib, to the 
end of
the ld.so.conf file).

Cheers,
Daniel.
