1. ldconfig should be run as root.
2. Actually fiddling with ldconfig is not mandatory (see below).

> peter at peter-ubuntu:~$ cd Documents
> peter at peter-ubuntu:~/Documents$ gcc main.cpp -o main -lcln -lginac

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig # just in a case
g++ main.cpp -o main `pkg-config --libs --cflags ginac`

(ginac.pc sets proper -Wl,-rpath option, so there's no need to fiddle
with ldconfig)

By the way, this is documented in the manual:
