Though man ldconfig does exists. Further it says to modify

Seems to me, that you tried running 'ldconfig' as a normal user. If that
was the case, you should be running it as '/sbin/ldconfig' (as /sbin is
generally not in the default PATH for normal users). However, you are
advised to run '/sbin/ldconfig' as root.
You can temporarily sort out this issue, by adding the path to your
wxwindows library into your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
Assuming that the wxwindows library was installed in /usr/local/lib,
you might try 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib/'
at your bash prompt. I'm not sure if wxwindows creates a subdirectory
under /usr/local/lib and stores its libraries in there. If that is the
case, you must want to modify the path appropriately.
