Hello everyone. I have searched the mailing list archives, the FAQ, the readme, 
and everywhere else but I still am stumped on what must be a newbie mistake.

I compiled and installed Mplayer as root, and it works perfectly. I tried 
various different video file formats and skins and OSD fonts and everything 
works well. I am impressed.

I then switched users, back to my regular user account, and tried 
running "mplayer" but got "command not found."

I ran the commands "./configure" (with appropriate parameters since users do 
not have write access to /usr/lib/win32), "make", and "make install" and 
everything went great up until the install, where it told me "ldconfig: Command 
not found". Ok, easy, just install ldconfig right (as they said in 
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2002-May/014304.html)? Well my 
system says I already have ldconfig installed -- according to the package 
manager that comes with Mandrake. Is it wrong, or what? Is there something I 
can add to the makefile to get the install working under a non-root user?
