Running the Autotools based build system  from the current online manual https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html (version 1.35), I successfully completed the configure task: ============================================================== $ ./configure $ make ==============================================================

However, the installation failed as it could not find ldconfig:

# make install ... /bin/bash: line 3: ldconfig: command not found make[4]: *** [Makefile:1660: fix-ubuntu-libdir] Error 127

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.
