Error when trying to run ggl-gtk

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Well

I`m using Ubuntu 8.04 and I was successful   doing the "./configure",
"make" and "sudo make install"

But, when I try to run "ggl-gtk" it shows me that error:

$ ggl-gtk
ggl-gtk: error while loading shared libraries: libggadget-1.0.so.0: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

I get the same error on Slackware 12.0, any help?

# sudo ldconfig

You need to configure your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable...you can add 
it to
/etc/profile for global use or just add it to your ~/.bashrc file:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

/usr/local/lib should be the place where the libggadget-1.0.so.0 file is 
located...if
not find where it is and add the directory to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH

That`s fixed for me too =P

But, studying the folder after "make" I found it more easier to run it directly 
from
that point than to do an "make install"
That`s my hint for everybody who gets the same problem as me

just run './google-gadgets-for-linux-0.9.1/hosts/gtk/ggl-gtk' and it will run 
properly!
