Unable to execute application on Linux (Ubuntu)...

[htartisan]

I built an application using the "libconfig" code on Windows. That seemed to go pretty well.

I then tried to build the same (cross-platform) application code on Linux (Ubuntu). After reolving a few issues, I got it to build. However, when I try to run the application, I get the following error:
error while loading shared libraries: liblibconfig++.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

NOTE: code was built using the latest version of Gnu g++, and I am running it on Ubuntu 20.04.

I have verified that the libconfig shared libraries (liblibconfig++.so and liblibconfig++.so.1) are in the same folder (CWD) as the application.

I also tried doing the libconfig "install" that is mentioned in the "INSTALL" document (`make install'), but I still get the same results.

Any thoughts on how I can resolve this?

did you run ldconfig?
are you sure its supposed to be liblibconfig? Is your Makefile directive -l libconfig or just -lconfig?
