[gnome-love] Need help on running the application

[Chamila Adhikarinayake <cka adhi gmail com>]

Hi Again,

I'm new to building applications by compiling the source in linux.up
to now i managed to compile the code without any problem.
(I'm using Gnote).I did ./autogen.sh, make , make install. every thing
went fine.
this may be dumb question. i want to know how to run the application
after that.I found gnote in /usr/local/bin. is this the one i should
run?.  (I tried to run it by using ./gnote but i got "./gnote: error
while loading shared libraries: libgnote-3.9.so.1: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory" error message)
I really want to do some coding but i don't know how to test it
without running the app (or is there a different way to test the
code).
 If i'm doing things wrong, can some one give the all the  steps or
give some links for some tutorials.

thanks again for taking some time to help me
