You could use the - (or -l) option to su so that you get root's
environment which has /sbin in the path.

Alternatively, you can edit ~/.bash_profile and add /sbin to the PATH=
line there.

Or you could edit the install files from the library you're installing
so that they use the full path (sed -i 's,ldconfig,/sbin/ldconfig'
install_files).

pathmunge is just a function created to handle the task of adding an
entry to the PATH.
