Ralph,

I switch between versions of GNU Radio constantly on my machines and
haven't had to run ldconfig by hand in a long time. It might be a
specific Kubuntu issue (I run Ubuntu) or something about your
environment or shell that you run.

Still, adding a line in there as a hint that if you see a particular
problem to try running ldconfig in the build instructions. Remember,
gnuradio.org is a community page and you can edit it yourself. Just
follow these steps:

On the other hand, you could look at this link:
