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!

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.

Regards, Enrico
