libdabsdr.so.2 not found after make install - ldconfig needed

[andimik]

Seems the make install is not working properly, because when I run the app from the build-directory ~/apps/AbracaDABra/build/gui/AbracaDABra it works fine, while

LANG=C sudo make install
[  5%] Built target AbracaDABra_lrelease
[  7%] Automatic MOC and UIC for target AbracaDABra
[  7%] Built target AbracaDABra_autogen
[100%] Built target AbracaDABra
Install the project...
-- Install configuration: "Release"
-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/bin/AbracaDABra
-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/share/applications/AbracaDABra.desktop
-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/512x512/apps/AbracaDABra.png
-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/lib/libdabsdr.so.2.4.0
-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/lib/libdabsdr.so.2

will end in

$ AbracaDABra 
AbracaDABra: error while loading shared libraries: libdabsdr.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The solution is the following line

sudo ldconfig

Maybe you can add it to the README.md

Some Linux distributions do not even have /usr/local/lib in their ldconf. This is generic linux issue, no application specific, all application that install any library in /usr/local have this problem.

Ah, ok

I have added short note about installation prefix, not sure it helps dummy users, advanced users should know already.

Better than nothing ...
