If somebody reads the install output carefully enough, and understands what that means, maybe (although I went back to the emacs shell that I did the install in and didn't see any such message). But it's buried in a stack of output, if it's there at all. In practice, I start it, go off to do something else, and simply check that it completed successfully. I suspect that this is the common state of affairs. The Gimp Makefile (not libtool) could have an additional call to "ldconfig" or "-(PATH="\$PATH:/sbin" ldconfig) > /dev/null" immediately after calling "$(LIBTOOL) --mode=install". But the installation rules in the Makefiles are generated by autoconf/automake and it could be a bit tricky to hack them. Actually, I think libtool should have some kind of "libtool --postinstall"
