Hi Enrico,
Thanks - but I did run as root!
If you look at the script I posted, you will see that the third line reads:
====================================================================
/home/geoff/Build/geany/geany-main/geany-1.36# make install
====================================================================
It seems like the PWD was wrong. I tried running ldconfig from other places:
====================================================================
/sbin# ldconfig -p
bash: ldconfig: command not found
/sbin# cd /
/# /sbin/ldconfig -p>/home/geoff/test-ldconfig
1357 libs found in cache `/etc/ld.so.cache'
...
====================================================================
So one has to run make install from the top level / ?
Tomorrow!

As root, ldconfig should be found.
As user, ldconfig is usually not callable without the full path (as it
is located in /sbin).
So, it looks like you ran "make install" as user. OTOH, usually unless
manually changed, users cannot write to /usr/local.
Try running "make install" as root.
Regards,
Enrico
