What this does is update a database with all known .so files so that you can use them in your programs. The file /etc/ld.conf tells ldconfig where to look for .so files. So you will want to make sure that /usr/X11R6/lib is in there. (It probably is) In most distro's ldconfig is run at boot. (follow /etc/inittab thru the scripts for you system to know for sure or just trust me and reboot :) )
