cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I’ve gotten this error after i’ve installed ImageMagick (from source) and RMagick (using gem) on my Debian system

libMagickCore.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory – /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rmagick-2.8.0/lib/RMagick2.so

To get rid of this error i executed

ldconfig /usr/local/lib

    You may want to add “–prefix=/usr” to “./configure” command, so that ImageMagick get installed in Debian default dirs.

    Awesome, thanks!

    But, in my case ldconfig wasn’t in my path, so I had to run:

    /sbin/ldconfig /usr/local/lib

    Oh thank god! This is not the first error I’ve encountered installing image magick, but it was the easiest to fix thanks to you!

    Thanks that helped a lot. Though I had to use:
    sudo /sbin/ldconfig /usr/local/imagemagick/lib

    because I set a custom prefix when installing imagemagick.

    When i tried without sudo I had the following error:-
    /sbin/ldconfig: Can’t create temporary cache file /etc/ld.so.cache~: Permission denied

    Thanks
