I've just found this link and downloaded the package, but I haven't installed it yet. However, the topmost changelog at the package info page http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=13386 for this specific release of the package tells that it fixed the problem of ldconfig with the terminal specifically. I hope it works as stated.
