The dynamic linker (the program that loads libraries for programs when
they start running) uses a database in /etc called ld.so.cache.
ldconfig builds that cache.  If a library isn't found in the cache it
can't be loaded, so everytime you put a new lib in one of the library
directories (/lib, /usr/lib, /usr/X11R6/lib, /usr/local/lib) that
cache must be rebuilt.

I missed the initial, but 0.9.12 is needed for gnucash 1.4.x and 1.1.x
won't work with a 1.4 version of gnucash.  the 1.5.x beta/alpha
versions of gnucash need a 1.1.x version of g-wrap.
