Odds are if you don't have it on the system, you don't need to run it. 
Try and see. I might be horribly mistaken, but I _think_ running 
ldconfig serves for the system to know there's a new dynamic library 
around the place, and it's necessary on some Unixen. Might want to check 
how OSX handles dynamic libraries...
