You probably want to run `sudo ldconfig`. ldconfig is in the /sbin/
directory, which is usually only in your PATH if you're root. (Not to
mention that the action it takes can only be performed by root.)

This is actually because the property program_name was introduced in
gtkmm 2.12, and the patchage config script doesn't check your gtkmm
version. So if your gtkmm isn't recent enough, you get no errors until
you try to compile Patchage.cpp.

If possible, try installing gtkmm >= 2.12. This probably involves an
upgrade of glib and gtk+ too, so it might be too much trouble if your
distribution doesn't provide packages for it. If you don't upgrade
gtkmm, you might try as a last resort commenting out lines in the
patchage source until it compiles, though I can't guarantee that will
work.

Oh, and you don't need sudo for `make`, just for `make install`.
