[ghemical-devel] So close but ... libghemical.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Dr. Seth Olsen]

Hi Ghemicalers,

ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!  ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!111111!!!!!!1

Many thanks Jean and Michael.  I am quite the apprentice still when the dark
arts of compiling and linking are concerned.  However, with suitable playing
around with 'ldconfig' and referral to the man pages (from whose ascii
blessings fall like rain), I was able to refresh the loader and now I get
the GUI.

Many thanks again!

Cheers,

Seth
