What made me think it was ldconfig is that if the driver name is not a
internal driver to the LCDd server then it tries to dlopen(drivername)
in driver.c. I have tried the driver path option and it doesn't help me.

What does is creating a simlink from libglcd.so to glcdlib.so and then
in LCDd.conf using a driver name of libglcd and a config section of
[libglcd]. So i really think the driver should be renamed.

Found this one now!

It was a font problem, i have set on the the static fonts from the
graphlcd-media package to be my standard font now instead of freetype
and its working.

Its all working.

I still have one make install issue and that is the docs don't get
installed on my system :-

All binaries and libs have already been done so its just the docs
