+kconfig-mconf Path Issues
+-------------------------
+
+Some people have experienced this problem after successfully building and installing
+the kconfig-frontends tools:
+
+ kconfig-mconf: error while loading shared libraries: libkconfig-parser-3.8.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
+ make: *** [menuconfig] Error 127
+
+There two known solutions to this:
+
+1) Add the directory where the kconfig-frontends libraries were installed
+ to the file /etc//ld.so.conf (probably /usr/local/lib), then run the
+ ldconfig tool.
+
+2) Specify the LD_RUN_PATH environment when building the kconfig-frontends
+ tools like:
+
+ ./configure --enable-mconf
+ LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/lib make
+ make install
+
+
