Sorry thats a school boy error yes I'm running ubuntu 11.4, kernal 2.6.38-8-generic, gnome 2.32.1 (yes most of this isn't relevant but I'm going for completeness) 1.9GiB ram, AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core processor ginac 1.6.0 was installed with the standard install commands included in the install file ./configure make sudo make install make check all tests passed my terminal after I tried ldconfig looked like this. peter@peter-ubuntu:~$ man ldconfig peter@peter-ubuntu:~$ ldconfig /sbin/ldconfig.real: Can't create temporary cache file /etc/ld.so.cache~: Permission denied peter@peter-ubuntu:~$ cd Documents peter@peter-ubuntu:~/Documents$ gcc main.cpp -o main -lcln -lginac peter@peter-ubuntu:~/Documents$ ./main ./main: error while loading shared libraries: libginac.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory For give me but prior to using this system all I did was a bit of darwin tinkering and before that MS-dos. I'm not too clear on the specifics of how linux handles it's libraries. Quoting "Richard B. Kreckel" <kreckel@ginac.de>:
You didn't tell us about your system or how and where you installed the library. Buy maybe you do have to run ldconfig?
