You need to run ldconfig to actually update the shared library database.
Or reboot, since usually ldconfig is run at boot time.
Did the instructions mention /etc/ld.so.conf but not ldconfig? Perhaps
you can suggest where in the docs we can make it clearer, or better yet,
perhaps you can send patches for the doc/src/sgml/*.sgml files.
