It seems that my adding the file into /etc/ld.so.conf.ld is not neccesary. Without it I can still build my Gtk programs and execute them as well as others that I built previously. So I wonder what I was trying to do, why I thought it was necessary and where I got the idea from. The folder /opt/gtkada/ is where I installed Gtkada and in lib there are lots of .so files. As I know absolutely nothing about Linux I doubt very much that I got the idea of adding a file in /etc/ld.so.conf.ld all on my own and it did no harm in Ubuntu 14.04 However the immediate solution to my problem is probably simply not to add the file into /etc/ld.so.conf.ld I'll try it out and let you know. Many thanks, MfG Ahlan
