  Just did a build of libgerbv from CVS, and I note that the naive
'make install' required that I manually run ldconfig afterwards so that
gerbv could find libgerbv.
    

As others have noted this is a feature, not a bug.

Besides, trying to run ldconfig in the makefile would make DESTDIR
installs difficult.
Why not use -rpath or -R and tell the runtime linker where the library resides.  No need to use ldconfig in that case.
