Confusion with OAF instructions

Description

The instructions for OAF say to run "ldconfig" before anything else. Clearly, this won't work as a non-privileged user. Is this supposed to be moved to the end of the instructions, or should it not be there at all?

It needs to be at the beginning of the instructions, if anything.

I remember putting it in there a long time ago, before there was unprivileged and root user steps. Of course, it needs to be run as root. I remember putting it there because OAF failed to build unless you run ldconfig after installing ORBit.

It can probably be removed, though, as there is a note in the preliminary setup instructions to run ldconfig after installing libs, and ORBit installs libs.

Removed the obsolete 'ldconfig' command from the OAF instructions.
