Hi Edward,

All the messages you say you don't understand are in fact the plain output of the build and compilation process, so it's considered quite normal behavior. No worries about that, assuming the whole process ended with no errors.

I guess the main problem you're facing is that you're building and installing from source and the default installation target directory is /usr/local instead of the standard /usr. What happens is that the linker (ld) cache doesn't know whether to look into this directory, yet.

Maybe this will do it: as root, edit /etc/ld.so.conf, add a new line with just /usr/local/lib, save and still as root run ldconfig. That's it: from now on, all shared libraries (.so) installed under /usr/local should be found when running your applications, so that you may proceed to the next problem... sure, don't despair, they'll come :)

Cheers
